French President Emmanuel Macron is in New Caledonia to address deadly violence between Indigenous Kanaks and pro-France factions.

The violence was sparked by debates over changes to voter lists.

The crisis has resulted in six deaths, hundreds of arrests, and numerous injuries.

There have been incidents of fires, looting, and evacuations of foreign nationals.

Evacuation operations are ongoing for stranded tourists, with around 100 already repatriated.

Some tourists are experiencing medication shortages and limited supplies on the island.

Security reinforcements have been sent to assist tourists, but many remain stranded and feeling forgotten.

Evacuation efforts will continue until commercial flights resume on Saturday.
