The World Federation of Democratic Youth wishes to send a message of condolence to the people and victims of the eruption of the Volcán de Fuego in the sister Republic of Guatemala. Once again nature shows us with great force that climate change is not an invention of the scientific community, and if it is a reality of the damage caused to the planet every day. The eruption of the Volcán de Fuego, last Sunday, June 3, has increased the suffering of thousands of Guatemalan families with a high balance of human losses and material damages yet to be quantified. The member organizations of the WFDY join their voices and efforts for the early recovery in Sister Guatemala. In addition, we attach to this message the data of the authorized addresses through which you can transfer aid to the populations of the Department of Escuintla, Chimaltenango and Sacatepéquez that have been declared in a state of calamity.
On behalf of WFDY
