eruption

Spain's prime minister vowed to rebuild the country's Canary Island of La
Palma, following a volcanic eruption that began two weeks ago and
continues to spew ash and lava.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced an aid package of 206 million
euros, approximately $238 million, on Sunday during his third visit to the
island since the eruptions started on Sept. 19, according to the
Associated Press.

"We are facing a test of resistance, because we don't know when the
volcano's eruption will end," Sánchez said in a press conference. "But
citizens should know that when it does end, the government of Spain will
be there to help with the enormous task of rebuilding La Palma and offer a
horizon of prosperity."

Two additional fissures nearly 50 feet apart opened up on Friday, sending
more lava headed toward the ocean, the AP reported.

The activity coming from the Cumbre Vieja volcano does not show signs of
slowing down any time soon. The Canary Islands Volcanology Institute has
been monitoring the eruptions and noted on Twitter on Sunday morning that
explosive activity was intensifying and by afternoon, effusive activity
had increased.

La Palma government officials have continued to monitor the air quality
around the eruptions and say they did see an increase in sulfur dioxide
levels after the latest fissures opened, but it wasn't a present health
threat to residents, according to the AP.

Earlier sea-bound lava spills prompted officials on the island to tell
residents to seal their doors and windows to block the toxic gas that's
created when molten lava hits the ocean.

More than 900 houses have been destroyed by lava flow, according to the
European Union's Earth-monitoring program Copernicus.

Of the nearly 85,000 people who live in La Palma, more than 6,000 of them
have been evacuated since the eruptions began. No deaths or injuries have
been reported as a result of the eruptions so far.

Prime Minister Sánchez said he would focus on finding solutions for those
who lost their homes, rebuilding agricultural infrastructure and destroyed
urban environments, as well as relaunching tourism and making sure
transportation across the island is possible once the volcanic activity
ceases.

Prior to this year, the last eruption on the island took place in 1971 and
lasted for more than three weeks.
