Japan continues aid deliveries to tsunami-ravaged Tonga

Two Japanese aircraft left Australia to deliver more vital aid to Tonga as the Pacific nation deals with the aftermath of a volcanic eruption and tsunami.
The Japanese Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Kawasaki C-2 left the Royal Australian Air Force Base at Amberley in Queensland state to make the 2,050-mile journey east to the islands that were devastated by the January 15 twin disasters, the Australian defence department said in a statement.
