Millions awarded to White Island volcano victims

After the tragic eruption of White Island volcano in New Zealand last year, several victims and their families have been awarded millions of dollars in compensation.

The eruption took place on December 9, 2019, when tourists were visiting the popular tourist destination. The eruption resulted in multiple casualties and left several people with severe injuries.

Following months of legal proceedings, a settlement has been reached with the tour operators and other responsible parties. The victims and their families will receive a total of millions of dollars in compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

This settlement is a small measure of justice for the victims and their loved ones, who continue to grapple with the physical and emotional scars of the tragedy. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of holding accountable those responsible for ensuring the safety of tourists and visitors at popular attractions.

While no amount of money can fully compensate for the loss and suffering experienced by the victims of the White Island volcano eruption, this settlement is a step towards providing them with some measure of relief and closure.
