Vanuatu cyclone: Pam 'wiped out' development - BBC News

Vanuatu cyclone: Pam 'wiped out' development - BBC News: "Cyclone Pam has "wiped out" development in Vanuatu, its president said, amid ongoing concern over residents of the Pacific nation's outlying islands.
Aid has begun arriving in the storm-hit nation, where trees and power lines have been felled and many buildings destroyed.
Aerial images of the capital, Port Vila, show houses completely flattened.
The situation on islands closer to the eye of the storm is not yet known.
At least eight people are confirmed to have died but the death toll is expected to rise as rescuers reach more remote islands."
