Un nor gros s-a ridicat deasupra insulei La Palma, la două zile după ce specialiștii avertizaseră că o erupție e iminentă. Ei au detectat mai multe cutremure în zonă, iar astăzi, autoritățile au decis să transporte într-un loc sigur persoanele în vârstă sau cu dizabilități.

Chiar înainte de erupţie, autorităţile au procedat la evacuarea a circa 40 de persoane cu probleme de mobilitate şi a animalelor de la ferme din satele din jurul vulcanului.

Soldaţi au fost detaşaţi pentru a ajuta la evacuări din zonele locuite cele mai apropiate de vulcan, a declarat Ministerul Apărării spaniol. Se aşteaptă ca alţi rezidenţi să fie evacuaţi din oraşele din jur.

Duminică seară, pe insulă va ajunge premierul spaniol, care din cauza erupției vulcanului și-a amânat deplasarea la New York, pentru Adunarea Generală ONU.
