DDL’s Chairman Komal Samaroo commenting on the donations said “Our thoughts are with the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines as they navigate this untimely disaster. Our assistance is just one step towards ensuring that affected citizens have access to clean drinking water and sanitising agents to help them cope with this natural disaster.”

A UNICEF report has indicated that between 16,000 and 20,000 people, including children, have been evacuated due to the eruption of La Soufriere, last Friday, April 9, 2021. A total of 62 shelters were opened on the island, hosting at least 3,200 people.
