Tonga’s main communication lines remain down after a violent tsunami.

Not being able to have contact with a nearby neighbour is tough, and it’s even more concerning for the families involved.

“The restoration of a cable link is needed which is the main form of communication to Tonga.”

It remains unclear whether any Australians were injured in the disaster.
