New Zealand will deploy two Royal Navy ships to its fellow Pacific Island nation on Tuesday, the country's minister of defence, Peeni Henare, said in a statement, adding they would take three days to reach Tonga.
The two ships -- including HMNZS Wellington and HMNZS Aotearoa -- will carry a Seasprite helicopter, as well as humanitarian and disaster relief supplies, Peeni said.
"Water is among the highest priorities for Tonga at this stage and HMNZS Aotearoa can carry 250,000 liters, and produce 70,000 liters per day through a desalination plant," he added.
