New Zealand’s support for Vanuatu
Vanuatu is part of our Pacific family and New Zealand's thoughts are with everyone affected by the earthquake. New Zealand is providing emergency humanitarian assistance(external link) to the Government of Vanuatu's response.
Our support includes providing emergency relief supplies, surveillance flights to help assess damage, an urban search and rescue team, and a forward planning medical assistance team.
How New Zealanders can help
The best support New Zealanders can give is to donate cash to an established humanitarian organisation operating in Vanuatu.
See information about the New Zealand Red Cross Vanuatu earthquake appeal(external link).
See information about emergency appeals for Vanuatu from New Zealand humanitarian NGOs(external link).
See more practical information about how you can help.
If you are a corporate organisation with services or goods you want to offer to assist with the earthquake response, please contact publicoffers@mfat.govt.nz.
Our priority is to meet requests from the Government of Vanuatu, so may not be able to accept all offers.
