I don't think there's been much impact from the earthquakes (and there were a lot of them, just none of them on land) but MSF OCA dispatched an exploratory team there last week to look at the issue of flooding which has displaced over 10,000 people in Honiara. The last update from MSF Sydney (who have shared operational responsibility for the region) is that they have initiated a response to the flooding and have despatched a medical team.
This project is most likely being coordinated through the MSF OCP emergency desk for the Asia Pacific region which is based out of Tokyo. I can follow up with them if anyone is interested but I have seen nothing further about the earthquakes either on the MSF intranet or GDACS.
