Over 10,000 persons have been evacuated from the red zone in St Vincent and the Grenadines where the erupting La Soufriere volcano has created havoc and CARICOM Heads of Government heard yesterday that the situation could be a prolonged one.
Heads of Government met in Special Emergency session to discuss the situation in St Vincent.
A release from CARICOM yesterday said that Heads committed to continue providing extensive support and pledged solidarity with St Vincent as it strives to cope with the disaster. The volcano erupted on Friday 9 April and has been spewing ash and pyroclastic flows.
