toner and i don't just mean the main island. i also mean the outer islands after the work that was done was really quite crucial. but we know that there is more work to be done to make sure that solar can bounce back to the atmosphere conditions and the ash covering the importers a particular challenge. i'll be understanding that they'll be committed in the next couple of days and we'll be able to get some flights into toner to be able to make sure we can take supplies. but in the meantime, government, myself and then you know, in government that made the decision to st. navy, the falls into

to carry. we'll distribute 250000 liters and also has some of the some nation plants to be able to make sure we can continue the supply of people or coma. on top of that, there has been a number of
