A powerful magnitude-7.3 earthquake rocked Vanuatu's capital Port Vila this week, claiming the lives of two Chinese nationals, according to Chinese Ambassador to Vanuatu Li Minggang. The disaster has left at least 14 dead and hundreds injured, per Red Cross reports. 🌏⚠️
The quake struck Tuesday, triggering widespread damage and emergency response efforts. Chinese authorities are coordinating with local officials to assist affected citizens, while international aid organizations mobilize relief. Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation prone to seismic activity, faces infrastructure challenges that amplify the crisis.
Ambassador Li emphasized China's commitment to supporting recovery efforts, stating: \"We stand with Vanuatu during this difficult time.\" The tragedy highlights vulnerabilities in disaster-prone regions and the importance of global solidarity. 💔🤝
