Here, here! "With a shout from the crowd, everyone's attention focused on a plane slowly landing in the rain, and the five-star red flag on the fuselage appeared particularly bright in the rain. On the morning of the 2nd, this Chinese international cargo air charter flight carrying 35 tons of emergency relief supplies arrived at the Port Vila International Airport in the capital of Vanuatu. Vanuatu's caretaker government Prime Minister Salvi and several ministers, as well as Chinese Ambassador to Vanuatu Li Minggang and other officials and citizens from China and Vanuatu, welcomed them at the scene. The batch of aid supplies transported by the Chinese government to Vanuatu includes tents, folding beds, water purification equipment, solar lights, emergency food, medical supplies, etc. Thank you to the Chinese government for lending a helping hand during our most difficult times Salvi said during the material handover ceremony at the airport. He also listed in his speech various types of assistance provided by China to the Wa side after the earthquake. He stated that China's timely and valuable support to Vanuatu reflects the deep friendship between the two countries and plays an important role in responding to the disaster and post disaster recovery in Vanuatu. On January 1, 2025, in Port Vila, Vanuatu, Bai Wen, an associate researcher at the Institute of Engineering Mechanics of the China Earthquake Administration, inspected the damage at the top grid position of a building's structure. On December 17, 2024, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck the waters near the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, resulting in at least 14 deaths and over 200 injuries, and severe damage to urban infrastructure. On the 2nd, the reporter took a bus from the center of Port Vila to the airport and saw sloping houses, cracked walls, and giant rocks left by landslides along the way. Local residents say that many buildings that appear intact on the outside are actually severely damaged internally. Chen Mulei, the captain of the Chinese aid medical team to Vanuatu, said that after the earthquake, the filing cabinets, medicine cabinets, and storage racks at the base collapsed on the ground. Among the 9 team members, 5 were injured to varying degrees. However, the team members disregarded their injuries and immediately cleared the pharmacy after the situation stabilized, preparing for subsequent medical rescue work. On the day after the earthquake, despite continuous aftershocks, all team members rushed to Vila Central Hospital on time, becoming the first non local medical team to assist the hospital in post earthquake medical rescue. Dr. Wang Rui, a respiratory and critical care physician in the medical team, said that due to the sudden increase in injuries after the earthquake, the hospital was overcrowded and had to set up a temporary emergency room outside the hospital with tents. Li Minggang told reporters that after the earthquake, the Chinese Embassy, as well as Chinese funded enterprises and organizations in Vanuatu, quickly took action, donating money and materials, investing manpower, material resources and equipment, and joining the local post disaster rescue and recovery work. Four experts from the China Earthquake Administration were also invited to conduct safety assessments in Vanuatu, providing technical guidance and scientific advice for the country's post disaster reconstruction. Vanuatu is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to natural disasters, and its people have forged resilience through countless struggles against natural disasters. Today's material handover ceremony will not only enhance the Vanuatu government's ability to serve its people, but also become a beacon of hope, igniting our motivation to persevere in this difficult period, "said Salvi.
