International aid reaches some of the remote islands in Vanuatu that have been devastated by a monster cyclone. Full Story: Tanna is one of the islands in Vanuatu that bore the brunt of Cyclone Pam. The UN says the current death toll is 11 but it's expected to rise once officials inspect the more remote areas. In the meantime, aid workers are trying to get to those who need help. [Alex Snary, World Vision's Disaster Operation's Manager]: "Priority at the moment is clean water. Food relief, temporary shelter. These are the life sustaining elements that we need to get in place and we need to get them in a hurry." International aid agencies have begun emergency flights to the outer islands. Countries like Australia have sent planes with personnel and humanitarian supplies. The cyclone has made more than 3,000 people homeless in what's one of the world's poorest nations.
