TONGA TSUNAMI VICTIMS IDENTIFIED
NUKU΄ALOFA, Tonga (Matangi Tonga, Oct. 4, 2009) - The names of the nine people who died from the Tsunami that struck Niuatoputapu on Wednesday morning, September 30 was released by the Prime Minister's Office last night. The nine deaths are: 1. Losalio Lefai2. Sefo Lefai3. Toni Lefai (child) 4. Tina Lefai (infant) 5. Kalolo Kivalu6. Lesina Tupouto'a7. Tu'ulomia Tavake8. Heneli Losalu9. Lupe Pukenga. The fact that the tsunami disaster has further isolated Niuatoputapu from the rest of the world has made it difficult to assist the needy people of Niuatoputapu. There has been no ferry service to Niuatoputapu since the sinking of the MV Princess Ashika on August 5, and the tsunami disabled the Tonga Communication Corporation TCC communication facility on the island, and damaged runway. The first flight to land at Niuatoputapu was on Thursday morning, October 1 more than 24 hours after the tsunami had struck.
Rest in Peace...
