The Eastern Caribbean States Embassy to Belgium and Mission to the European Union continues to proactively engage stakeholders in Europe to support the OECS Commission’s efforts to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to the Government and the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines following ongoing explosive eruptions at the La Soufriere Volcano, which began on 09 April 2021.
Mindful of the magnitude of the disaster, which has affected the daily livelihoods of an estimated one-fifth of the island’s population (approximately 20,000 persons), the Mission acted swiftly to engage the EU, other European States, and selected Missions in Brussels, with an urgent appeal for emergency humanitarian assistance.
