'St Vincent Faces Humanitarian Crisis After La Soufrière Volcano Eruption'
The island of St Vincent is facing a humanitarian crisis after a major volcano eruption.
Officials have warned that safe water reserves are at risk as heavy ash contaminates supplies.
Falling ash and volcanic flows have destroyed crops and contaminated water reservoirs.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are reportedly needed to recover from the eruption of La Soufrière.
More than 16,000 people have been evacuated from the island’s northern region, where the volcano is located.
No casualties have been reported since the first eruption of the volcano early Friday.
Volcanologists say activity on the Caribbean island could continue for weeks.
