Survivors received food and cash assistance to help recover after volcanic ash devastates islands<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kingstown \/ Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (August 2, 2021)\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/strong>On April 9, the La Soufri\u00e8re volcano erupted for the first time after 40 years, sending an ash plume 10 km (6.2 miles high) into the sky and reaching far enough away to affect Barbados, Grenada, and Saint Lucia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting ash fall was very heavy in the surrounding areas, reaching nearby islands and halting area air traffic. An estimated 23,400 people were displaced to the southern end of St Vincent Island and some neighboring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following initial assessments on the ground, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) declared an emergency category two response according to its global emergency response mechanisms and rapidly started providing food assistance to displaced people at nine shelters. By the end of July, a total of 87,438 hot meals had been distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the support of local partners and in coordination with the local government, ADRA also provided cash assistance to 1,950 people whose livelihoods had been severely impacted by the emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cash and voucher assistance provides affected people with the means and\u00a0flexibility\u00a0to decide and prioritize their recovery. In emergency contexts, cash assistance allows more aid to reach the beneficiaries directly, supports local markets and lays the foundations for communities\u2019 recovery and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cADRA has been able to provide much needed humanitarian assistance to the people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines thanks to the generous support of its donors and the commitment of its staff and volunteers on the ground, many of whom are from the same affected communities and left their homes behind as well,\u201d says Lisa Schnurr, ADRA\u2019s emergency response coordinator in SVG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schnurr adds that the country is still recovering from the eruption of La Soufriere as the most critical stage of the 2021 hurricane season approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re facing an active Hurricane season. We will continue to support country offices in Central America and the Caribbean to be ready to respond to the impact of disasters across the region,\u201d says David Poloche, regional director for ADRA Inter-America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
