Volcanic ash polluted the whole water source in Tonga. What are the urgent needs of the local area?

Tonga in the South Pacific suffered a volcanic eruption, which polluted the water source of the whole country and brought great inconvenience to the life of the whole country and people, especially the lack of living materials, mainly lacking the following urgent needs:

First: the source of drinking water.

Because the volcanic eruption produced a large amount of volcanic ash, the water sources in the whole country have been seriously polluted, especially in the disaster-stricken areas, many people have no direct drinking water, which has caused great trouble to their lives. Once the water source is scarce, it will inevitably have a great impact on disaster relief work. If water can be replenished in time, it will bring great convenience to the rescue work.

Second: epidemic prevention materials.

This volcanic eruption will inevitably lead to casualties. In addition, the COVID-19 epidemic has become a global epidemic, so the epidemic area is an important infection area for virus transmission. Therefore, the epidemic area is very short of epidemic prevention materials. Once the epidemic is out of control, there will be a second wave of epidemic in the whole vegetable area, and even more casualties will be caused. The whole epidemic area must control the epidemic situation within a safe range to ensure that the epidemic situation will not deteriorate.

Third: temporary housing.

Due to the tsunami caused by volcanic eruption, many residents' houses were seriously damaged, and many people were homeless because of the collapse of large areas of houses, so the whole disaster area was very short of temporary housing. It is very difficult to carry out comprehensive rescue according to our own domestic rescue forces, because the whole country has become the hardest hit area, and the national rescue forces are very weak, so there is no way to rescue more people. Therefore, we must do everything possible to build temporary housing to prevent the disaster from worsening.

Tonga, as an island country in the South Pacific, is located in the earthquake zone and prone to volcanic eruption. This volcanic eruption basically affected the whole country, and the whole country was damaged to varying degrees. It may take longer to restore the original state, but what needs to be solved now is the material problem. After all, relief supplies are the key to solving the problem.
