New Zealand volcano: five confirmed dead after White Island eruption
Five people have been confirmed dead after the volcano on New Zealand’s White Island erupted, and up to two dozen people remain unaccounted for as unstable conditions, toxic gases and ash fall prevent rescue teams from searching the island, The Guardian reports.
The country’s most active cone volcano erupted at 2.11pm on Monday, sending up a huge plume of ash that was visible from the east coast of the North Island.
Police said about 50 people were on the island at the time, more than 20 of whom were Australian tourists. Twenty-three people have been rescued, and five have since died. All of those rescued had sustained injuries, mostly burns, police said, and seven people who were in a critical condition had been flown to hospitals in Tauranga and Auckland.
