Australia’s relief efforts in Vanuatu have begun after the tiny island nation was struck by two earthquakes and a number of aftershocks this week.

The tiny island nation of Vanuatu has been rocked by two earthquakes and a number of aftershocks, with reports at least 14 people have died.

The quake struck off the coast of Vanuatu.

Australia has recorded more than one earthquake a week during 2024, with Victoria being rocked by a 3.4 magnitude quake on Aug. 29.

Scientists say a magnitude 4.1 earthquake felt in Victoria in the early hours of the morning was linked to a previous 5.9 magnitude quake.

A 3.9 magnitude earthquake in the Goulburn region of New South Wales sent rumbles far and wide as houses shook.
