Volcano erupts in New Zealand's White Island: five dead, 18 tourists injured

Willington, Ta. December 9, 2019, Monday

Five people were killed when a volcano erupted in New Zealand's White Island. About 18 people were injured. Up to 50 people were likely to be in the island when the volcano erupted. Everyone else is trapped in the volcano. Given the magnitude of the volcano, rescue operations were not immediately possible.

The volcano erupted just as tourists arrived at the White House in New Zealand. The volcano fire was forbidden to fly above 12,000 feet in height. Given the magnitude of the volcano, it was impossible to start rescue operations immediately.

About 50 people were around the volcano where it erupted. According to media reports, about 100 people were on the island when the volcano erupted. According to reports, five were killed. About 18 tourists were seriously injured. About fifty people were said to have been trapped on the island.

After the volcano erupted the fog rose, causing no visible sight. Also, as the ash spread all over the island, it was difficult to get there. The intense volcanic flames overheated the entire island, making it difficult for the troops to move around.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda said people were trapped when the volcanic island's volcano suddenly became active. A rescue operation has been launched for them. Scientists warned the volcano would be active on December 3rd, but the tourists were allowed to leave because their magnitude was too negligible.
