Ms. Yu Hongtao, a Chinese businessman in Tonga Gave an interview to the television station CGTN that right now there is only dust everywhere on the island. “What I can see right now is that everyone is participating in emergency rescue and disaster relief operations,” Yu said. “Almost everyone is wearing a mask. Because ash from the volcano covered the road after pouring out for hours. Vegetables and houses were also covered in ash.” “Some volunteers helped clean the streets. But in the forest it hasn't been done yet. It's just clearing the road,” he said when asked about the living conditions. This includes water, electricity and food in Tonga. Yu said that many things have not yet returned to normal.
There has been some progress, he said, with many areas having electricity restored within a day of the volcano's eruption. And in the early morning everyone started to buy necessary things. “Personally, I start by Phone Number List finding water first. Then find food and find more water,” he said. “We have enough essentials. Even though there's no bottled water left in supermarkets right now, But other essential items are still available.” Another thing that is in short supply right now is vegetables. A friend of Mr. Yu who works in agriculture said that People in.
Tonga will not be able to eat fresh vegetables for at least another month. As for fruits, he said, “There aren't many fruits on the island. There's only a little bit of watermelon. And now it's becoming more difficult to find.” “I think life has not yet returned to normal,” Yu told CGTN. He said the deputy prime minister had declared a state of emergency. Meanwhile, Tongans are helping with disaster relief and cleaning up volcanic ash that has covered the streets. "If you don't clean it, The ash will float back up when cars pass by. and sticks to the roofs of buildings,” he said. “Drinking water in Tonga comes from rainwater. Every house has a rainwater collection tank on the roof. So we have to clean up all the ashes.”
