then came the rushing waters of what appears to have been a thankfully small tsunami. in new zealand, prime minister jacinda ardern said communication with tonga remains difficult but the situation is now calm. we need to finely balance the need to get there quickly, but to make sure we also get the people and resources they need there as well. in some cases, we have parts of tonga where we ve just not been able to establish communication. the hunga tonga hunga ha“apai volcano has been active since mid december, but saturday s eruption was on a completely different scale. i would expect the activity to continue for a while yet. i m not necessarily expecting it to get any bigger, but it could conceivably continue on at a similar scale. the tsunami generated by the eruption spread right across the pacific, overturning fishing boats here in japan. but the real concern remains tonga and its outlying islands, many of which tonight remain cut off from the outside world.
the aid effort will be made doubly difficult by the coronavirus. tonga has only registered a single case of covid i9, and is determined to keep the virus out of the country. from what we have seen and been advised of, drinking water is one of the first main issues of priority for the people in tonga. here in the uk, the family of a british woman swept away by the tsunami say her body has been found. 50 year old angela glover ran a dog sanctuary in the tongan capital, and was reportedly killed as she tried to rescue one of her animals. she was living on the beach and she was living her dream. you know, she always wanted, to live, you know, in a place like tonga, and was so proud that she she was able to fulfil that. days after the hunga tonga hunga ha apai volcano erupted, there s still so little information
