A la demande du gouvernement du Vanuatu, la France met en place des moyens pour venir en aide aux populations déplacées suite à l'éruption du volcan d'Ambaé. Un avion militaire français de type « CASA » est arrivé aujourd'hui sur l'île de Pentecôte, avec à son bord plusieurs tonnes de fret humanitaire, le directeur de la Croix-Rouge française au Vanuatu et une équipe de la sécurité civile de Nouvelle-Calédonie. Il effectuera ensuite des rotations entre les différentes iles concernées par les déplacements de population.
Le centre de crise et de soutien centralise notre action, en lien avec le ministère des armées, le Haut-Commissariat de la République en Nouvelle-Calédonie et l’Ambassade de France à Port-Vila.
Notre action est également coordonnée avec celles des gouvernements d’Australie et de Nouvelle-Zélande comme le prévoient les accords FRANZ, qui fixent un cadre de coopération régionale dans le Pacifique sud en cas de catastrophes naturelles et dont la France assure localement la présidence. Capable d’atterrir ou décoller sur des pistes de faible longueur, le « CASA » joue un rôle parfaitement complémentaire par rapport aux moyens déployés par nos partenaires.
