NZ eruption More than 30 casualties, continuing the tour while raising the alert level, December 11th 5:07
The eruption that occurred on the 9th of a volcanic island in northern New Zealand has killed more than 30 people so far, and the whereabouts of 8 people are still unknown. On the island, the volcanic activity has been active since last month, and there have been doubts that the tour continued even though the alert level was raised.
On the 9th, an eruption occurred on White Island, a volcanic island known as a popular tourist destination in northern New Zealand, and 47 people including tourists visiting the island and its surroundings were involved.
The eruption has killed 6 people so far and lost 8 people.
Thirty people are being treated at the hospital, but most people have burns in more than 30% of their body, and some have severe symptoms.
On the island, volcanic activity has been active since last month, and the government organizations monitoring the volcanoes in the country raised the alert level to level 2, which is not strange even if an eruption occurred.
As a result, in New Zealand, there have been doubts about why the tour continued, such as why tourists were allowed to enter the island.
Concerning this, Prime Minister Ardan said in the Congress on the 10th, “There will be a big question about this event. It must be questioned and answered.” I showed the idea of pursuing responsibility for this.
