Satellite imagery shows the area of Tonga covered with volcanic ash after the eruption
According to Reuters, two New Zealand warships carrying relief supplies will arrive in Tonga on the 21st local time, which will be the first batch of international assistance that Tonga received after suffering heavy damage from volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
Captain Simon Griffiths of the HMNZS Aotearoa said in a press release, "For the sake of the people of Tonga, we are now heading towards them with a lot of water. Griffiths said his ship was loaded with 250,000 litres of water and other supplies, in addition to the capacity of the devices it carried to produce another 70,000 litres of water per day.
New Zealand's Foreign Ministry said that because there are currently no new crown cases in Tonga, border controls are strict and all aid must be carried out without contact. Un officials said on the 19th that in order to prevent the introduction of the new crown virus into Tonga, most of the actions such as assistance to this South Pacific island country will be carried out "remotely", and aid workers may not land on the Island of Tonga.
