Humanitarian update
Situation
Just when people in Ecuador are learning to live with coronavirus crisis, a volcanic eruption in its Amazon region has made things worse for the citizens of the South American nation. On June 7, Ecuador’s Sangay volcano was seen spewing hot lava, leaving several cities covered in ash amid the Covid-19 pandemic. “The ash comes out of the Sangay volcano and spreads into the Guayas province, and we see a quantity of ash that is arriving near Guayaquil,” Benjamin Bernard of the Geophysical Institute of Ecuador told reporters, referring to the province where Guayaquil is located.
