From , 6:01 am on 28 January 2022

The Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum says they are standing by to support Tonga in whatever way they can.

Almost 90 percent of the Kingdom has been negatively impacted by the recent volcanic eruption and tsunami which has caused widespread destruction and left three people dead.

Henry Puna has announced a Blue Pacific fundraising appeal for Tonga which will run up until the 25th of February.

He joins me now, kia orana Mr Puna tell us more about this appeal?
