niua infrastructure still devastated

From what I can gather much of the crucial infrastructure on Niua is still not yet rebuilt - the medical clinic (which had just been refurbished & stocked with equipment paid for by Niua expatriates before the tsunami) is reduced to a small room at the high school...the police station was also wiped out and is similarly located at the high school, and other community services have been badly affected and disrupted.
Initial assitance came from the Red Cross, the World Bank, and the NZ Navy via HMNZ Canterbury:

"HMNZS CANTERBURY has been a hive of activity transferring over 200 personnel each day to Niuatoputapu for Pacific Partnership 2011. Amphibious operations begin every morning at 0600 with embarked forces and vehicles on CANTERBURY being transferred ashore via LCM, RHIB, and PUMA helo."

"Niuatoputapu is one of the two inhabited islands in Tonga’s Niua group, located in the northern-most part of Tonga. The total population of about 1,100 lives in four villages, Hihifo, Vaipoa, Falehau and Tafahi Island. The island is remote and relatively isolated from the rest of Tonga. It is estimated that income levels in Niuatoputapu are among the lowest in Tonga. On September 30 2009, the Niua islands were struck by an earthquake of 8.3 magnitude whose epicentre was 190km to the north east. This was quickly followed by three tsunami waves with a maximum flow height of 16.9 metres and penetration of over 1km inland. As much as 46 percent of the island was inundated resulting in the deaths of nine people and damages estimated at about US$10 million. Of a total of about 255 private houses on the island, 85 were totally destroyed and 56 partially damaged by the tsunami. Most of the public utilities and government buildings were completely destroyed, along with the water and sanitation system. Earthquakes and earthquake-incurred tsunamis remain potential threats in the coming years."
