Guatemalan authorities have evacuated around a thousand people following an eruption of Central America’s most active volcano, Fuego, which expelled lava, ash, and rocks, according to a report

Guatemala’s Volcano of Fire is erupting, and authorities have evacuated nearly 300 families while warning that another 30,000 people in the area could be at risk.

The eruption of Volcan de Fuego has massive regional and global implications. The volcano's ash cloud is expected to affect neighbouring countries, possibly disrupting air travel and impacting agricultural production.
