AT least 99 people were killed in the eruption of Guatemala’s Fuego volcano, which buried several villages on its southern flank, authorities said yesterday.

The National Forensic Sciences Agency said in a report that morgues had received the remains of 99 people killed as a result of the eruption.

So far, only 28 of the dead have been identified.

Some 200 people are still missing, amid fears of a new blow-up of the 3,763m volcano. – AFP, June 7, 2018.
