More than 200 people were injured
VANUATU - People remained trapped in a collapsed building in Vanuatu 's capital Port Vila on Wednesday a day after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the Pacific nation, killing 14 people including two Chinese nationals.
There were 14 confirmed deaths including four in one collapsed building, the National Disaster Management office said in a report. Concrete pillars on a building hosting foreign missions in the capital, including the US, British, French and New Zealand embassies, also collapsed but there were no reported casualties."Even just two minutes ago, we had another shock ... probably wouldn't even count how many. Loads and loads of aftershocks throughout the night," Australian Caroline Bird, who manages a resort in Port Vila, told ABC News on Wednesday.
Australia's government said a 64-person disaster response with two dogs to undertake urban search and rescue operations, as well as Australian Federal Police, would arrive on Wednesday.
