18.03.2015 08:02 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Some 60,000 children are believed to need help in Vanuatu as the UN gears up its emergency response to the aftermath of the hurricane Pam (one of the most powerful tropical cyclones to make landfall), UN Radio says referring to the UNICEF report.
As to the report, in addition to flooded schools and hospitals, 250 kilometers an hour winds have caused widespread destruction throughout the already vulnerable island nation.
Reportedly, the process of the assessing of the needs on the ground remains difficult but agencies including UNICEF, World Food Programme (WFP) and World Health Organization (WHO) have started working to eliminate the disaster’s consequences.
