Australia steps up efforts to aid tsunami-hit Tonga
Australia dispatched surveillance flights on Monday to assess the damage in Tonga, isolated from the rest of the world due to the eruption of an underwater volcano that triggered a tsunami and blanketed the Pacific island with ash.
The delivery of humanitarian aid to Tonga is ramping up, with Australian ship HMAS Adelaide arriving on Wednesday (January 26), days after it was devastated by a volcanic eruption and tsunami.
Today, India announced an immediate assistance of $200,000 for relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in Tonga, which was hit by a massive volcanic eruption and a tsunami on January..
An underwater volcano near Tonga has erupted on the 15th January, 2022. This triggered a tsunami warning for several South Pacific island nations including Australia and New Zealand.
