White Island Volcano (New Zealand)

The crater lake at White Island Volcano is close to overflow. The lake started to form in the crater in August 2003, and now is only 3.3 m from overflow level. The lake is being held in place by a barrier of soft material, which has decreased in diameter from 22m last November to 15m. The lake level is expected to rise with continued rainfall during winter. The lake has covered previously active vents, so future eruptions may occur underwater. This indicates a change in the hazard at the volcano. White Island volcano is currently not erupting, and remains at level 1 alert.

Manam Volcano (Papua New Guinea)

Eighty percent of children who were evacuated from Manam Island after the volcanic eruptions in December 2004 and January 2005 are suffering from malnutrition, according to staff from Madang Hospital in Papua New Guinea. The food supplies to the care centres have been unable to provide children with a balanced diet. Thirty percent of children are suffering from severe malnutrition. Famine is the forgotten killer of volcanic eruptions. About 10,000 people from Manam Island were evacuated to camps on the mainland, and have been cut off from their gardens and fishing areas, and are dependent on food aid, which has not been adequate to meet their nutritional requirements.
