Vanuatu is anxiously waiting to see if Cyclone Donna will return to the island nation for another round.

The cyclone caused widespread damage to northern parts of Vanuatu yesterday.

Chief of field office for UNICEF Andrew Parker says Donna is sitting off the country's west coast.

"Because she's still looming very slowly, and cyclones are unpredictable, we wait with bated breath to see whether she takes another bite at Vanuatu, further south," he said.

"We should know that in the next couple of days."

Aid efforts are set to get underway in the north, and Mr Parker said the Government has proposed "blanket distributions of support items."

"[The Government] will be working with agencies in Port Villa," he added.
