New images show Tonga coated in ash
New images have emerged following a massive undersea volcano eruption that caused widespread damage
The Government of Tonga call it an ‘unprecedented disaster’ so far, declaring three people dead.
In new images, released by Tonga’s consulate in the EU, cars, roads and buildings can be seen coated in a film of ash, in the capital Nuku’alofa.
The dust has delayed relief planes from landing and delivering much-needed food and drinking water.
Aerial images taken by the New Zealand Air Force, meanwhile, indicate that several villages have been wiped out on islands that have yet to be reached.
