Vanuatu villagers evacuated from active volcano
Updated
More than 300 people are being evacuated from villages near a Vanuatu volcano which is spewing ash and gas into the air. Authorities say the western half of Gaua island is in danger, so the people from that area will have to leave for their own safety. Efline Garaebiti, head of Geo-hazard, the government unit which monitors potential disasters, tells Bruce Hill that the volcano has been getting steadily more active since last month.
