Great damage is being reported in Tonga as a result of the tsunami that hit the Pacific island, but communication problems are hampering the assessment process.<\/p>\n
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha\u02bbapai volcano erupted in the state on Sunday, about 65 kilometers north of the capital, Nuku’alofa.<\/p>\n
The blast, which was also felt in the United States, caused waves larger than a meter, which collided in Tonga.<\/p>\n
So far, there have been no official reports of injuries or deaths.<\/p>\n
Relatives and friends of the British woman, Angela Glover, have said she is missing.<\/p>\n
In some posts on social networks, they have said that the woman has taken the waves.<\/p>\n
Internet or telephone communications are extremely limited, making it impossible to report on the real situation.<\/p>\n
“Great damage has been reported in the western Gulf of Tongtapu,” a New Zealand High Commissioner in Tonga said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n
“A large layer of dust continues to be seen over Tongatapu,” the commission said.<\/p>\n
New Zealand Television Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver said in a Facebook post that it would take “at least another two weeks before international calls and the internet are operational again” due to the damage caused by the volcano. .\/REL\/<\/p>\n
