In response to the earthquake in Vanuatu on 17 December 2024, Australian Red Cross is working closely with Vanuatu Red Cross Society and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC), who are monitoring the situation and exploring response options. Trained and experienced Red Cross teams are on the ground and ready to assist affected communities with pre-positioned relief items.
Australian Red Cross will continue to monitor the situation closely alongside our Movement partners and stands ready to support as and when required.
From 20 December all funds raised for the Pacific Emergency Fund will support our response to the 2024 Vanuatu Earthquake.
