Parents, guardians abandoning children, elderly at shelters Social Share
A plea has been made by Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves for people to demonstrate greater care to the most vulnerable in the population.
He was referring specifically to the elderly and children who,it is reported, are being simply left at shelters across the green zone. Speaking this week on radio, Michelle Forbes, Director of the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) said that up to 50 pre-primary and primary aged children and teenagers, as well as elderly relatives, had been left at shelters sometimes for days, by parents and relatives. Some have actually been abandoned.

Volcanic Hazard Zones at Soufrière St. Vincent volcano (image: NEMO)
The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) in collaboration with University of the West Indies s scientists decided to lower the
Volcanic Alert Level from red to orange as a significant decrease of volcano-tectonic earthquakes have been recorded. In addition, no explosions occurred at the volcano since 22 April.
NEMO bulletin cites further: An orange Volcano Alert Level means that the volcano may resume explosions with less than twenty-four hours notice. As a result of this, the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines have also taken the decision that residents of communities in the orange zone from Petit Bordel to Gordon Yard on the Leeward side of the island and up to Mt. Young near the RUBIS Gas Station on the Windward side of the island, can return home and carry out normal activities.
