A handout photo taken on December 18, 2024 and received from the Australian Department of Defence shows a Royal Australian Airforce C-130J Hercules being loaded with supplies at RAAF Fairbairn in Canberra as part of the defence force's support of the deployment of Australia’s response teams to Vanuatu. Rescue teams dug for survivors trapped in crumpled buildings in the Pacific nation of Vanuatu on December 18 after a powerful earthquake killed at least nine people, burying some in rubble and landslides.
