Another earthquake on Friday has flustered the Pacific, as the search for bodies continues in tsunami-devastated Samoa. The death toll at present stands at 189, most of those from Samoa.
Three New Zealanders have now been confirmed to have died, including a two-year-old boy from Auckland. He was swept out to sea as he was playing on the beach with his parents at Lalomanu when the wave came ashore on Wednesday. His parents were able to swim to protection.
Raglan's Mary Ann White , 55, is the only New Zealander who died to be named so far.
Meanwhile, fears are rising for the New Zealanders still missing. MFAT says the numbers of Kiwis hurt now stands at 18 and officials in Samoa are still trying to track down 239 New Zealanders unaccounted for.
