Guatemala volcano erupts

                 

Sixty-two people have been killed and hundreds injured after Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted on Sunday. It was the Guatemala’s most violent volcanic eruption in more than a century. The volcano, about 40km South-west of the capital Guatemala City, has been spewing rocks, black smoke and ash into the sky. The National Disaster Management Agency said a river of lava hit the village of El Rodeo causing houses to be destroyed. In Guatemala City, La Aurora airport has been closed due to ash. President Jimmy Morales said a national emergency response had been launched. Thousands have been evacuated. Officials have advised citizens to wear masks due to falling ash. A total of about 1.7 million people have been affected by the eruption, this volcano is scary nobody would like to live by it.
