THE MISSING AND THE HURT
Of the 47 people on Whakaari/ White Island at the time of the eruption on Monday afternoon, at least five have died, many are injured, some critically, and eight are missing, feared dead.
The Red Cross Family Links website listed the numerous people who were feared missing.
Created by members of the public, the list is not an official list of the missing. The current names on the list were registered by loved ones following news of the natural disaster.
The New Zealand Red Cross encourages people with relevant information to update the list.
Here are some of the victims, people injured and those still unaccounted for.
DEAD: Hayden MarshallInman
Whakata¯ne man and tour guide Hayden Marshall-Inman was killed by the eruption. He was the first of five confirmed deaths. Former mayor Tony Bonne said he knew Marshall-Inman and his family personally: ‘‘It’s very sad that he’s lost his life.’’ His body was believed to still be on the island. His brother said the family has had no communication with authorities to discuss his recovery. ‘‘Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone, but we just want them back . . . off the island,’’ he said, wishing to remain anonymous.
MISSING: Tipene Maangi
The 23-year-old tour guide was among those missing on the island. He had been working for White Island Tours for only a few months, but a family member said he loved his job. His wha¯nau held a vigil at Whakata¯ne wharf yesterday morning. They then gathered at Te Ma¯nuka Tu¯tahi Marae to say karakia and were ‘‘holding out hope’’.
