HANDOUT – 14 January 2022, Tonga, Hunga Tonga: Above the Hunga Ha’apai volcano, a large cloud of ash, steam and gas rises in a northeasterly direction to a height of 18-20 km above sea level. The United Nations detected a distress signal from Tonga as the toll of a huge volcanic eruption remained unclear on Tuesday.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said there had been no contact from the Ha’apai group of islands following the eruption of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai volcano on Saturday.
