Shelter

Shelter for people in Tonga the top priority

Cyclone Gita swept through the Tongan islands of 'Eua and Tongatapu leaving most people without power and water and others without a home, three days ago.

Nearly 200 homes were completely destroyed on the islands of Tongatapu and 'Eua but Emergency Management director, Leveni 'Aho, said he knows there were a number of other people whose homes are without a roof.

It has been raining intermittently in the country since Cyclone Gita struck and Mr 'Aho said this made it even more important to reach those people.
