Pacific clean-up after homes 'blown to smithereens'

The cyclone careened through the South Pacific last week, peaking as a Category Five superstorm that gouged a trail of destruction across the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and Tonga.

She said in some areas the destruction was worse than the last Category Five system to hit the country, Cyclone Pam in 2015, which flattened the capital Port Vila and wiped out almost two-thirds of the country's economic capacity. She said there was extensive damage on the islands of Pentecost, Ambae and Santo, where Vanuatu's second-largest town, Luganville, took a direct hit.

No deaths were recorded in Tonga, where at least three tourist resorts and more than 400 homes were badly damaged. "As the extent of the destruction becomes clear, this UN funding will ensure aid supplies are maintained and reach the people who need it."
