"Seventh-day Adventist churches, schools and houses have been
extensively damaged by Tropical Cyclone Gita, which tore across Tonga overnight.
The Category 4 cyclone produced destructive winds of around 200km/h, and caused widespread flooding and power outages. Tonga’s Parliament building was flattened and many houses and buildings have lost their roofs. Reports coming through suggest that at least three people have been seriously injured.
ADRA South Pacific’s humanitarian program regional emergency coordinator Michael Peach provided an update earlier today, after speaking with Tonga Mission president Saia Vaea Vea.
Vea was assessing the damage at Beulah College, an Adventist secondary school in Nuku’alofa, Tonga’s capital." ANN
