Help GT

On Sunday, June 3rd of 2018 the Fuego volcano "Volcán de Fuego" erupted in Guatemala. "Fuego has unleashed pyroclastic flow —a nasty mix of ash, rock and volcanic gases that can be much more dangerous than lava"—, which covered the streets and densely populated towns at the foothills and surroundings, leaving many injured and millions of affected people without home, food, clothes and basic needs.

Erik W. Klemetti, associate professor of geosciences at Denison University, said that pyroclastic flows can tumble down a volcano at hundreds of kilometers per hour —way faster than what people and even cars could outrun. A lot of people didn't even have the chance of evacuating the area and many others thought they would be safe at home. This left (updated information from CONRED):

-75 deaths 
-1,713,436 victims 
-12,089 evacuated 
-3,271 people attended 
-3,319 sheltered 
-44 wounded


This is not the first time they are affected by the volcano —it has been active since 2002—, but it is the first time that it has a meaningful activity. Also, people that lived at this area had little resources and now... they have nothing. 

THEY NEED OUR HELP! 
The money will be used for helping the centers in Escuintla providing shelter, food, medicine, clothes, hygiene products and basic needs for people.
