STORYLINE
The Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, today (5 Jun) said the Government of Guatemala, “has requested a mission to assess the immediate humanitarian needs after the eruption of volcano Fuego two days ago,” which has impacted “more than 1.7 million people.”
Dujarric said “a humanitarian coordination team with 60 experts from several UN agencies, NGOs and the National Disaster Risk Coordination Agency of Guatemala is traveling today to visit 12 shelters and emergency operation centres. They will also meet local authorities in areas close to the most impacted locations.”
The Spokesperson said that “due to the massive volcanic activity, access to some zones is still impossible, with ashes reaching 60 degrees Celsius, which also impedes helicopter flights for rescue and damage assessment.”
Over 3,400 people, he said “have been evacuated and according to the latest numbers 69 people have lost their lives.”
Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday offered his condolences to the families of the victims as well as to the Government and people of Guatemala and wished a speedy recovery to those injured.
The volcano resulted in what are known as pyroclastic flows: deadly fast-moving currents of hot gas and volcanic matter. Ash spewed across a 15-kilometre radius.
