Have people from Tuvalu moved away?

According to media reports on the 20th, the rising ocean is increasingly threatening the lives and property of the people of Tuvalu, a South Pacific island country.

Tuvalu is 4000 kilometers north of New Zealand, bordering Fiji in the south, Kiribati in the north and Solomon Islands in the west. It consists of nine atolls with a land area of only 26 square kilometers. It is the third smallest country in the world after Vatican and Nauru, with a total population of less than 1 10,000.

According to the report, due to the rising temperature of the earth and the rising sea water, some land in Tuvalu was flooded by the tide, causing residents to be homeless. The Government of Tuvalu appealed to the Government of New Zealand to accept 3,000 Tuvalu residents for settlement.

Ionatana Ionatana, Prime Minister of Tuvalu, said that sea level rise will make some small coral islands uninhabitable, and about one third of Tuvalu residents need to move to New Zealand. New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said on the 20th that she expected the two sides to discuss this issue in the upcoming intergovernmental talks between the two countries.

Tuvalu, a South Pacific island country, will be devastated in 50 years, so it asks the Australian federal government to allow its people to move. This request was rejected by Australian Immigration Minister Dore a few days ago.

A spokesman for the Tuvalu government said that it is estimated that Tuvalu Islands will be submerged by seawater within 50 years. At present, many potholes on the island have been submerged by seawater, and the habitable area is getting smaller and smaller. Some residents have begun to emigrate to the United States, New Zealand and other countries.

Due to rising sea level, Tuvalu became the first immigrant country. Everyone must control global warming and prevent the tragedy from happening again!
