More than 250,000 people in Vanuatu have been affected, and thousands of homes have been destroyed, after back-to-back tropical cyclones struck the Pacific Islands nation earlier this month.

Vanuatu was hit by two tropical cyclones—Cyclone Judy and Kevin—on March 1 and March 3, which brought torrential rains and strong winds. The two cyclones also triggered a 6.5-magnitude earthquake on March 3.
