Also the roads to the airport @docjames
I think it may take some time before Vanuatu recovers sadly.

What a very interesting article. Thanks for sharing,

We will be visiting Vanuatu for the first time in June. Our daughter in-law, volunteered there for many years, but hasn't been back for over 5 years (young family now). She still has friends there and says the local people are kind and beautiful.

So it will be an interesting visit for us.

Thank you @AIRwin
We go in 5 weeks, and agree with @ellen10
It will be interesting to see how things are.

I have been to Vanuatu multiple times and it is one of my happy places, along with Nepal and wherever my grandchildren are. The lovely Ni-Van people are the country’s wealth, along with the natural beauty. Sadly I expect the cut to U.S. aid will impact this country and open the door further to unscrupulous involvement of less charitable benefactors.

Like China perhaps?
