Friday’s eruption of La Soufrière volcano in St Vincent has left some Guyanese in thrall and shock at the ash that has carpeted the island and they hope to ride out the crisis having stocked up on food, water and other supplies.
The Sunday Stabroek yesterday spoke with several Guyanese who have been residing in St Vincent and the Grenadines for a number of years on how they were coping.
The majority of them said that they reside in the safe zones but have been forced to remain confined to their homes for their own safety due to the continuous ash fall from the volcano.
