"People are saying these two cyclones were worse than cyclone Pam in 2015 because they were just hanging around for hours and kept hammering communities. People did not know when it would end." @soneelram, IFRC Pacific, talks to @Breakfaston1 on the current needs in #Vanuatu.

A huge thank you to our ⁦@NZRedCross⁩ people who themselves or their whānau and friends are directly affected by the impacts from Cyclone Gabrielle and are continuing to support their communities - we’re so proud of you. Thank you ❤️

@DRR_NZ @NormStuartBlack @HouseOfBoomNZ @DRR_NZ Thanks for your generous offer. We're not collecting clothes or goods, as sorting, managing and distributing donated items during an emergency takes an extensive amount of time and resources. More info about donating during emergencies is on our website.
