"Injured people were arriving at a hospital in Vanuatu as unconfirmed reports of casualties emerged after the South Pacific island nation was rocked by a powerful magnitude 7.3 earthquake."
"With communications still down hours after the jolt and official information scarce, witness accounts of casualties began to surface on social media and through patchy phone calls."
"The earthquake occurred at a depth of 57 kilometers and was centered 30 kilometers west of Port Vila, the largest city in Vanuatu, a group of 80 islands."
"Reports of widespread destruction filtered out on social media and in interviews, illustrating the challenges of obtaining accurate information in the aftermath of the earthquake."
