New photos show Tonga tsunami devastation as first aid plane arrives from New Zealand

First aid supplies have arrived in Tonga amid fears over contaminated water sources after volcano eruption

Fresh pictures of the devastation in Tonga have emerged five days after an enormous volcano eruption and subsequent tsunami cut off contact with the outside world, as the first plane carrying international aid landed.

A series of photos tweeted by the Tongan consulate late on Wednesday show trees and buildings flattened and covered in ash. Others show debris piled up outside homes and damaged vehicles.
