Mango is a small island in Tonga, 9 kilometres south-east of the larger island of Nomuka, and part of the Nomuka or ʻOtu Muʻomuʻa group of islands, which are the southern part of the Haʻapai group. Mango had a population of 62 in the 2021 census.[1]
History
The island was badly damaged by the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai eruption and tsunami. Following the eruption, a distress call was detected from the island.[2] Images from the New Zealand Defence Force showed that it had suffered "catastrophic" damage,[3] with an entire village destroyed.[4] According to the Tongan government, all homes on the island were destroyed, and a 65-year-old man was killed.[5] After the eruption, the entire island was evacuated, and the inhabitants were bought to Tongatapu by the Tongan Maritime Force.[6] After living at a church hall in Nuku'alofa for almost a year, they were eventually resettled on ʻEua.[7]
