Humanitarian relief supplies

An assessment on 31 March 2020 conducted by NDMO on Tanna shows that there are major impacts on the livelihoods of the people from the East to the Central parts of the island. The report shows that priority needs at the moment are food and water.

The government through the Food Security and Logistics Clusters assisted the Tanna Ash Fall victims with a shipment of 5,650 cartoons of bottled water, 5,650 bags of rice and 5,650 cartoons of canned food.

This is the second delivery of humanitarian relief supplies from Australia.

In addition to Australian-funded supplies, the C-17 also carried vital humanitarian supplies from the Government of the United Kingdom as well as Oxfam, Australian Red Cross, Care International, UNICEF and World Vision.
