Solomon quake recovery

Shelter, health and education priorities for Solomons quake recovery

Almost 10,000 people are now believed to have been affected across three provinces by the 7.8 magnitude quake which struck a fortnight ago off of Makira in the country's south.

An eleven-year-old girl who was crushed when a building collapsed on her remains the only fatality of the quakes.

Multiple aftershocks including a major 6.9 quake on the Saturday after the 7.8 quake have kept people in the affected communities on edge and heavy rainfall has caused several landslides on Makira.
