One year since Tonga eruption

From Summer Times, 9:12 am on 16 January 2023

What's life been like in Tonga a year since the volcanic eruption and tsunami? It was the most violent explosion on Earth in 140 years and sent a 2 -metre-high tsunami across the Kingdom's tiny islands.  The islands were flattened, with homes, villages and resorts completely swept away. Ungatea Kata is the Director of the Tupou Tertiary Institute on the main island of Tongatapu.
