Millions awarded to White Island volcano victims

After the tragic eruption of White Island volcano in New Zealand, millions of dollars have been awarded to the victims and their families as compensation for the devastating incident. The eruption, which occurred on December 9, 2019, resulted in multiple injuries and fatalities among tourists who were visiting the popular tourist destination.

The victims and their families have since filed lawsuits against the tour operators and authorities responsible for allowing tourists to visit the active volcano despite safety concerns. After months of legal proceedings, a settlement has finally been reached, providing financial compensation to those affected by the tragedy.

While the money cannot fully heal the wounds caused by the eruption, it is hoped that the financial support will help the victims and their families as they continue to recover and rebuild their lives. The award serves as a reminder of the importance of putting safety first in all tourist attractions, especially those located near active volcanic sites.
