(Sydney/Whitelon Comprehensive Electric) Australia and New Zealand Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday on Monday Monday on Monday on Monday, Australia and New Zealand.The scouting aircraft was sent to the South Pacific Island Tonga to inspect the disaster after the volcanic eruption of the bottom of the sea.Preliminary reports show that there are no large -scale casualties in the local area.
Australian Prime Minister Morrison pointed out that the volcanic ash hinders rescue work, but he promised to provide support for Tanga as soon as possible.
He said: "The interruption of volcanic gray clouds and communication brings many challenges, and we are trying to provide as much support for Tangjia."The preliminary survey of the Australian police on some beaches on the west of Tonga showed that the volcanic eruption and the subsequent tsunami did not cause major casualties. Tonga's airport was relatively good, but roads, bridges and resorts were severely damaged.
The owner of a resort in Nukufa, the capital of Tanga, said in the facebook that the resort was razed to the ground by the tsunami. Fortunately, the owner's family fled in time.The post stated: "The entire West Coast and the Village of Kano Kuberu are completely destroyed."
Tangjia not notified any casualties, but according to media reports, a British woman in Nuku AloFa was washed away by the waves.Her family said on Monday that her body had been found.There were two people drowned in the tsunami caused by the tsunami.
At present, Tangjia's domestic telephone service has been restored, but foreign communications are limited, and the disaster situation in the outer island is still unknown.A local underwater communication cable was damaged in the disaster, resulting in interruption of international communication and Internet services, and it may take two weeks to repair cables.
Australia is coordinating disaster relief with the United States, New Zealand, France, and other countries.Since Tangjia has only crown diseases so far, the local government is worried that foreigners will spread viruses, so foreign rescue workers may be prohibited from getting off the plane.
The air and drinking water pollution caused by volcanic ash are also a big problem.Officials from Tangjia pointed out that most people do not know that the volcanic ash is toxic, so they do not wear a mask to protect themselves.
Tangjia's Hongaa Apay Island Oceanic Volcano erupted for two consecutive days on Friday and Saturday. Among them, Saturday's eruption power was particularly huge, and many countries along the Pacific coast were affected.Early data shows that this may be the largest volcanic eruption since the outbreak of Pinato volcano in the Philippines before 1991.
