 AMBAE ISLAND, Vanuatu (AP) - Isolated cases of flu and diarrhea have broken out in an evacuation center for villagers ordered from their homes after a volcano began erupting on this remote South Pacific island, officials said Sunday.
Morris Harrison, a Vanuatu geophysicist, said low-level earthquakes continued to shake Ambae Island, "and if they continue or increase in size we will be worried."
Several thousand people were evacuated last weekend after Mount Manaro began spewing steam, sulfur gas and ash up to 10,000 feet above this island of 10,000 villagers in northern Vanuatu.
