Santa Cruz Tsunami Damage
As the remote Island group continues to be hit be aftershocks from the magnitude 8 earthquake on 6 February, rescue teams struggled to reach remote villages in the Solomon Islands. The tsunami flooded the nearest airstrip and left it littered with debris, preventing relief workers from reaching the region by air.
The dozens of strong aftershocks are keeping frightened residents from returning to the coast and going back to their homes because there's nothing left, so they are residing in temporary shelters on higher ground.
