Wallis and Futuna is an overseas community of France consisting of two small island groupings in Polynesia, near Fiji and Samoa. In December 2012, cyclone Evan passed through the area. While the smaller of the two islands, Futuna, was relatively untouched, the damages to buildings and infrastructure on Wallis was extensive. It is common to see buildings stripped to nothing more than its frame, particularly in the village of Liku, located near the main centre of Mata-Utu. Some villages in the south are still (mid 2013) without telephone and internet.
