Why?
The Fuego Volcano continues to be active, and the flow of lahar is likely to continue in the coming days and could be aggravated by the ongoing and forecasted rainfalls, which increase the risk of mudslides and landslides. Consequently, the affected, missing, and casualty figures are likely to increase. Livelihoods are restored among targeted population (500 most vulnerable families during the emergency phase and again during the recovery phase). households are provided with unconditional cash grants to address their basic needs during emergency phase. 500 households have received assistance to cover their mid-term and long-term livelihoods needs.
