San Juan, Apr 14 (EFE).- The United Nations coordinator for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Didier Trebucq, said Wednesday that the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines could cause a humanitarian crisis for its 110,000 inhabitants.
Trebucq, in a virtual press conference, said the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano, in constant activity since Friday, makes us face a humanitarian crisis that could also affect, to a lesser extent, neighboring islands.
“This crisis may last more than six months,” said the UN official, who called for international aid as a higher priority, adding that the agencies operating in the region have provided their aid effectively so far.
