European Union approves USD 150,000 to support St. Vincent and the Grenadines in volcano eruption response
Format
La Soufrière volcano in St. Vincent and the Grenadines erupted on April 9, spewing ash and hot gas and forcing approximately 16,000 people in high-risk zones to evacuate. Subsequent explosions blanketed the main island of St. Vincent in ash and produced pyroclastic flows which significantly affected homes, livestock and vegetation. Displaced persons have been relocated to emergency shelters and private homes; however, as water systems across the country have been shut down for days and electrical power access is sporadic, the Government may need to evacuate persons further to neighboring islands.
