Thousands evacuated as Guatemala volcano erupts again
- 5 years ago
Nearly 4,000 people the Fuego volcano in Guatemala have been evacuated after red-hot lava spewed down its side on Monday.
It marks the fifth time this year the volcano has erupted - the last being only a few weeks ago.
However the deadliest eruption was back in June when almost 200 people died and more than 230 others went missing.
As of yet there are no reports of lava reaching populated areas, but authorities are taking no chances, especially after they were criticized for not calling for evacuations earlier in June.
Temporary shelters have been set up and a red alert has been issued for the region.
