Një vullkan ka shpërthyer në Zelandën e Re, duke lënë një të vdekur dhe disa të plagosur.
Vullkani shpërtheu në Ishullin e Bardhë, I njohur ndryshe se Whakaari.
Policia tha se 23 persona ishin shpëtuar, por paralajmëroi se numri i vdekjeve ishte “e mundshme” të rritet pasi në zonë ka pasur grupe turistësh.
Zona aktualisht është shumë e rrezikshme për një operacion shpëtimi. Vetë kryeministrja e Zelandës së Re, Jacinda Ardern njoftoi se operacionet do të nisin sapo vullkani të qetësohet.
Ishulli i Bardhë është një nga vullkanet më aktive.
Those are some of the people put boat picked up. Praying for them and their recovery. Woman my mom tended to was in critical condition but seemed strong by the end.

My god, White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted today for first time since 2001. My family and I had gotten off it 20 minutes before, were waiting at our boat about to leave when we saw it. Boat ride home tending to people our boat rescued was indescribable. #whiteisland pic.twitter.com/QJwWi12Tvt

Checked photo timestamps. Last photo from me standing on the land was 13:49; this first photo of the eruption was 14:12, about a minute or two into the eruption. pic.twitter.com/hyqQuO4vNq
