An RAF plane has arrived in Vanuatu with vital supplies after the country was devastated by a tropical cyclone in the South Pacific.
Cyclone Pam ripped through the archipelago of islands last weekend, with winds of up to 155 mph and heavy rainfall destroying 90% of the buildings in the capital of Port Vila.
The death toll from a monster cyclone which ripped through the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu has risen to 24, officials have confirmed.
Cyclone Pam smashed into the country's shores with winds of over 185mph, destroying homes, boats and roads and leaving more than 3,300 people homeless.
The National Disaster Management Office said the numbers could increase further as it struggles to make contact with the outlying islands which bore the brunt of the storm.
