The Thai Red Cross Society has sent a condolence letter and donated 20,000 US dollars (THB 660,800) to Tonga Red Cross Society on 9 February 2022 in response to the massive volcanic eruption and tsunami near Tonga. The natural disaster has caused the loss of lives and the injuries, as well as the severe damage. Over 80,000 people were affected and are in need of daily necessities such as safe drinking water and food supplies as well as temporary shelters.
Tonga Red Cross Society immediately responded to the disaster by setting up shelters and providing clean water, tarpaulins, kitchen sets and other essential relief, and requesting support from the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
