		</div><p>An Australian teenager and a New Zealand tour guide are the two people whose bodies have not been found after last week’s volcanic eruption in New Zealand that killed 18 people.</p>
<p>New Zealand police said the bodies of Winona Langford, 17, of Sydney and New Zealander Hayden Marshall-Inman, 40, have yet to be accounted for.</p>
<p>Authorities believe both bodies are in the waters around White Island, but harsh conditions on Tuesday forced an abandonment of the search for a second straight day.</p>
<p>Inclement weather struck the Bay of Plenty, where White Island is located, and a water-based search has been ruled out due to the forecast of storms.</p>
<p>Ms Langford’s parents, Anthony and Kristine Langford, died in the eruption, while her brother, Jesse Langford, survived with severe burns and is being treated in a Sydney hospital.</p>
<p>In a previously released statement from the Langford family, Anthony and Kristine were described as “loving parents.”</p>
<p><em>“They will be greatly missed by all who knew them,”</em> the statement said.</p>
<p>New Zealand police also released the names of three more people who died in the eruption: Australians Richard Elzer, 32, and Julie Richards, 47, and Sydney-based US citizen Barbara Hollander, 49.</p>
<p>Of the 47 people on White Island on December 9 when it erupted, 24 were Australian citizens and four others were residents of Australia.</p>
<p>Australia’s Foreign Minister Marise Payne said the trauma had taken a toll on the families of the victims.</p>
<p><em>“I don’t think any one of us can begin to imagine what those families are facing in the coming weeks and months,”</em> an emotional Ms Payne told reporters. <em>“Here in places like Auckland, in Sydney, we’re surrounded by Christmas and celebration, but they face tragedy and devastation.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Our hearts and thoughts are with them every step of the way,”</em> she added.</p>
<p>Military specialists recovered six bodies last Friday from White Island, which remains at risk of erupting again.</p>
<p>Scientists have warned that the island, which is the exposed tip of a mostly undersea volcano, is highly volatile, and has been venting steam and mud regularly.</p>
<p>Survivors are being treated in hospitals across New Zealand and Australia.</p>
<p>Specialist medical teams from Australia, Britain and the United States have assisted in New Zealand.</p>
