(iWitness News) Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves says that his government expects that evacuees from the volcano Orange Zone, except those from Chateaubelair and Fitz Hughes, and people whose houses were damaged by the eruption are to leave emergency shelters by Tuesday.
“… immediately, what we have to ensure that persons who are from the Orange Zone, right now, save and except those from Fitz Hughes and Chateaubelair — they are in the Orange Zone but because of the extent of the ash there we are still not asking persons to go back there yet — but everywhere else in the orange zone, as I speak, persons should be leaving the shelters to go back home,” the prime minister said.
He was speaking on NBC Radio from Cuba, where he has gone to accompany his wife for therapy after spinal surgery in the United States earlier this year.
