A powerful earthquake has hit the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, smashing buildings in the capital Port Vila - including the embassies of the United States and other countries. The quake had a magnitude of 7.3 and struck around 30 kilometres off the coast of Vanuatu's main island. At least one person was killed.

For more on this, we speak to Finau Leveni. She's the Deputy Head of the Pacific Delegation for the International Committee of the Red Cross and joins us from Fiji.
