St Vincent and the Grenadines Red Cross youth liaison LaToya Creese believes the road to recovery for the island will be a long, challenging one, as the country is dealing with three "disasters" at the same time.
"We were not just coping with covid19 in St Vincent. We were coping with covid and dengue because we still have an ongoing outbreak...Now we are dealing with a volcanic eruption, and on top of that we are heading into the hurricane season," Creese, a Vincentian, said.
