Whakaari, aka White Island, erupted yesterday: 5 dead , 34 injured, 8 missing. There is no hope the missing have survived.
”2 groups on the island - those who were able to be evacuated and those who were close to the eruption."
… from Australia, US, UK, China, Malaysia, NZ.


Oh, no; this is terrible 😢 (I had no idea you had active volcanoes in NZ; I guess I should have expected it, Ring of Fire and all, but the earthquakes had been getting all the news.) 💙🇳🇿
