An underwater volcano has erupted and a tsunami has hit the main Island of Tongatapu.
We have tried to touch base with our contacts on the ground; however, communication has been severed so there is a delay in understanding the severity of the situation.
If you have not seen the news, here is a BBC article explaining more on the situation:
Friends of Tonga is monitoring the status and are actively looking into how we can support. If you have any ideas, we encourage you to email us at friendsoftonga2018@gmail.com.
Please keep our friends, family, and all the people in Tonga in your thoughts and prayers. For those in Tonga, please stay safe and know we are thinking of you.
