On Spain’s Canary Islands’ La Palma, fears are growing that lava from a volcano on its eastern coast could reach the ocean.
If that happens, it threatens to release toxic gasses, putting the health of the coastal villagers at risk.
Hundreds of buildings on the Spanish island have been destroyed and thousands forced from their homes.
Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports from La Palma, Spain.

#LaPalmaEruption #CanaryIslands #CumbreVieja
Feeling very sad for all suffering this. U r alive thats blessing Allah God ‘ll give you more than this loss InshaAllah. From Pakistan
Few places on the planet are devoid of natural disasters. Life is a risk in of itself, however, some choices we make are more perilous than others, thus increasing the odds of devastation.
Love your optimism
Do you think the volcano will collapse?
I’m sorry but living near a volcano is temporary living. Compassion for one’s poor decisions is very little.
how will they ever recover really. I cant imagine living there with all that going on. Surely the authority should get people evacuated for now to keep them safe, as volcanoes can just suddenly really blow. Krakatau comes to mind.

It’s pretty chill tbh
I don’t know who need to hear this, investing now is a wise decision to take! Despite the pandemic, cryptocurrency has grown in popularity and is predicted to do so in the future as it has changed a lot of lives
Great context.everyone needs more than there salary to be financially stable.the best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly.because money left for saving always end up used with no returns. I started Investing in bitcoin mid November 2020 with the help of a well-known-proffessional Mr BERRY SILBERT and the profit entirely funded my recent duplex.
@Oties Bon Jovi I’ve seen different recommendations about berry Silbert, he must be very exceptional for people to talk about him like this
@telegram@fred Miller Wow my first investment with him gave me profit of over $24,000 and ever since then he has never failed to deliver and I can even say he’s the most sincere broker I have known
I have a lots of bitcoin I dont need a job 🥳
I would have prolly been richer than I am now if I had given ears to random advice on YouTube on stocks investment and trading earlier but all the best I’m good
Can’t wait to see its final form like a boss level.
It’s going be extraordinary
17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are on you, O dweller of the earth.
18 And it shall be, he who flees from the sound of dread shall fall into the pit. And he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For the windows from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake.
19 The earth is breaking, breaking! The earth is crashing, crashing! The earth is tottering, tottering!
20 Like a drunkard the earth is staggering, staggering! And it rocks to and fro like a tree-hut! And its sins heavy on it; and it shall fall and not rise again.
21 And it shall be in that day, Jehovah shall punish the host of the high place on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered, as prisoners are gathered in a dungeon. And they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be judged.
23 Then the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and gloriously before His elders.
(Isaiah 24:17-23)
And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines and plagues. And there shall be terrors and great signs from Heaven.
(Luke 21:11)
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. And on the earth will be anxiety of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men fainting from fear, and expecting those things which have come on the earth. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27 And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to happen, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.
(Luke 21:25-28)
La palma, eartquake in kreta, i think a big eruption is about to happen in turkey soon
the government should compensate the victims to build new houses away from the volcano.
Very sad but what makes me angry is that these people are living in a football stadium whereas the so-called migrants are living in hotels and apartments all paid for by you know who? shame on you Gonzalez
Isnt it strange, that they wear masks, are they afraid of Covid or the volcano?
Both, but mainly the volcano and ash
Hello nice to meet you all if ok
Hawaii’s Kilauea erupted for 35 years, from 1983 to 2018, and lava entered the ocean numerous times during this period. The acidic steam clouds are dangerous – several people died from getting too close to them – but the effects are very localized and do not spread far. So they will not be as catastrophic as this story implies, fortunately.
These poor people…praying for their safety😭
Al Jazeera trying to become mainstream news while supporting Islamics.
HINT : DO NOT BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE SLOPES OF / FLOW GULLY FOR A VOLCANO… PARTICULARLY THE “EXTINCT” ONES.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Time to go back to Europe.
God bless them Jesus be with them Amen
Somehow I don’t think he’ll turn up. He never appears at other disasters.
@Chris Wood when Jesus comes back, it is in the Father’s glory, for the judgement. That being said, the Lord is with us all the time, for those who have ears to hear.
@Jean V Amen 🙏
God be with you people of la palma. I pray for your safety 🙏
Step 1. Build house on a volcano
Step 2. ——–
Step 3. Cry
Jesus Christ is Lord
and Saviour of the world.
So what.. the last 70 years 3th time it does brake out.. and it will not be the last one. maybe dont build Houses there… ^^ im not sorry. i mean no1 did get hurt.. and they all know there living on a Vulkano… seams abit harsh. but its the truth no1 wants to say.
Lives literally hundreds of meters away from an active volcano, everyone surprised and in shock that lava is spewing out.
True… what are some natural hazards in your home, I am serious what are they? I live in the mountains in B.C. Canada, what are my hazards? River floods, land slides, we have people here that die from radiation poisoning from shale deposits that sit beneath our homes. Empathy, have a little empathy.
@jerry delyea dude, active volcano means lava, means explosion and fire. I am wondering why are they surprised and in shock.
It’s Iñigo not Inigo Vila, please get the captions right, “Algeciras” TV
How is it that these people are “shocked” and “panicking” when the natives have been living downhill from an active volcano for generations? Cut the adjectives.
When a generation doesn’t actually see it erupt maybe they have a sense of security.
Nice reporting with a human touch. So many people enduring many natural disasters around the world. The anxiety is real for them.
The entire world is keeping me up at night
get a life then
La Palma Marco land
You live on a volcanic island and this is a shock to you? WTF
Everybody would sad when loosing their home🤐💨💨💨
Believe in Yeshua/Jesus and repent of sin. He is the only way to Heaven. He died and rose from the dead for you…
we can only respect the nature, pachamama, we humen merely a tiny dot on the nature land…
I was homeless for most if my life. In the last 8 years of being homeless I was in Alaska. I made the mistake of coming south to take care of my mother and inherited her home. I am about to loose it. I wish I never got used to that which you can’t keep. I was better of homeless.
There is a blessing in honoring your parents. If you look at the glass half empty, then you will have nothing. Be grateful for your life. You can always keep a thankful heart and a positive mind. No natural disaster can take that away.
@The calm way home The Lord was homeless and he did honor his parents. You are not implying that I would be homeless because I dishonored my parents are you? Because number one, if that was true and is not, you would know too much about me. That would also imply that you are following me and setting yourself as the executor of justice and now you are justifying your actions.
Think that there are so many unusual tectonic activities that we are in for a huge eruption soon
Cumbre veija and la palma are the same volcano
SO WILL THE BE MASSIVE GASES AND EXPLOTIONS OR NOT JESUS
This reporter really knows how to lay on the drama thick
This es actually extremely serious, when the lava reaches Atlantic Ocean mixed with Hurricane force winds that means North America & islands , South will get the Acid Clouds blown en
We are thinking of you all
Be safe.
Love Australia x
There goes Spains carbon emissions for the next few years,how you suppose to stop climate change when valcanoes keep erupting.
They should tax volcanoes…
I thought they cooled down the planet
Omg 💔🙏
Why go and live next to a vulcano
I think everyone should get outa there now before it blows
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
This is not a shock, dont build houses right around volcanoes.
All the Canary Islands are volcanoes, to build away from the volcanoes, they would have to build their houses in the sea
تذكروا الشعوب التي دمرها الاستعمار وهجرت ..فلسطين العراق اليمن سوريا شعب سيناء .. الخ
يا له من تعليق غبي
Very bad ! ALLAH , blessed all people
My heart melting seeing this happened specially to those people was lost thier home😔and thier livelihood
You might wanna see a dr about that
when the Lava hits the water it produces fine glass like particles that are harmful to the lungs if inhaled the fine glass like particles can`t be felt but cut the lungs with small miniscule cuts that make the lungs leak fluids and in extreme cases can drown the person in their own fluids. And other harmful gases.
This has been a year for natural disasters, Forest fires, Floods Huricanes and Volcanoes!!! 🔥🌊⛈🌋
Mother nature at her worst .
yes lock in your home. Are you crazy or you want to be sucrafied???
And unfortunately people will still go back to live around them.
That’s the only way if you want live in that Island
I bet they will like everything else blame this on climate change
Everyone here are temporary. Live and let live. Enjoy the life.
Calm like Mt St Helens. All who stay: Leave now! I know how u feel but your lives are more important. Pyroclastic clouds & acid rain is real. It will be too late to escape. The 🌋 is speaking to u. Get out now!
Where are the green police? We need some eco warriors stopping this dirty volcano from polluting.
This is shock?????Well u live on active volcano island duuuuh it will happened every 50 years or soo
It’s funny that most of the tourists going there are going for the volcanic landscaping and crater’s, now that it’s active everybody’s going home, I would stay there to see it if I was there, once in a lifetime opportunity
And God Almighty is showing His anger and worldwide it will continue until the world turns back to Him
this is the reward living on an “Island” that is a volcano what do you expect? the whole island is one big volcano !!
SOME OF THE PLACES PEOPLE LIVE ARE SO BEAUTIFULL ON ONE SIDE OF THE COIN BUT ON OTHER SIDE A TICKING TIME BOMB,THIS INCLUDES LOW LIEING COASTAL REGIONS AGAIN BEAUTIFULL BUT IF THERE IS A PULSE MELT BENEATH ANTARCTIC GREENLAND ETC THEN ITS AGAIN THAT OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN,GLUG GLUG BUY A BOAT .
King Jesus is coming back!! Get right with God today before it’s too late. Repent and turn to Jesus as your only hope. Jesus is the son of God, he died on the cross and rose again on the third day as an atonement for our sins. If you place your faith in Him as your Lord and Saviour by God s grace you will be saved 🙏🏻.
Signs will be more frequent and intense!!! Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon 🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT , believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again

Let the fun begin
😱😱
How come the geologist cannot tell before this thing is going to happen… what is the point of the studying such subject that doesn’t know … sorry for all the lost of all living beings and their attached belongings….
“It’s a shock”…? You built your homes directly under a volcano 😐
JESUS said :
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD,
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.
THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.
MATTHEW 22 : 37 – 38
These islands should have been with Morocco.
is there a need to live right on the crater rim?
The toxic gasses will only kill if you stay for a long time very close to it
It’s Gods will. Just pray. God love’s you all
I’m not being mean…just realistic. Everyone there knew they lived in the shadow of an active volcano. The last “big” eruption was in the 70’s. My heart goes out to all these people and I hope this comes to an end soon.
@Keith Bardes. Then why are you mentioning it then? Just pray for them and keep quiet
Hope it was internet bull*** and im wrong but i read last year somewhere kinda prediction that mega-tsunami will happen soon from canaries and goes to Florida and west coast of Europe
I don’t understand how is that much people acting like nothing happened like whatever this is a call from God they should be on their knees praying because this is not gonna stop this is going to keep going and he’s going to be worse people don’t understand they just wanna live life
That is no place for house. But money from villa and swimming pool makes people stroger than God
Human arrogance will lead us to the end. We are already walking on THIN ICE. And still we keep ignoring climate warnings. Next 50 years will be devastating.
This has nothing to do with climate change

La gente se une cada día en todo el mundo. Al fin y al cabo, ¡todo el mundo está afectado! Implícate en el proyecto planetario de una sociedad creativa si quieres sobrevivir.
Lava is falling into sea since 23:01 local hour. (23PM).
Why exaggerate the effect of lava hitting the sea? This is ongoing practically every day in Hawaii without harm. There is no mor harm in lava hitting the water than of lava generally. You do not need hyperbole here. It’s bad enough.
Pray
Karma!
You lived next to a volcano. It’s absolutely predictable that this would happen.
Best wishes to the residents, I hope this settles soon and there is adequate help from their government. God Bless.
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON. BE READY!
Question what start all of this ?hmmm I think they need to have a look in side too see what going on but I know might be dangerous to do rip the homes and people.
Nature
Ask forgiveness from Allah Almighty. May Allah bless all those who suffered.
If you live On a volcano this is what happens, DOE! 😎
Miss Stella is legit and her method works like magic I keep earning every single week with her new strategy
when I saw testimonies all over the place I thought it was all made up stories till I was convinced and gave it a try and honestly I don’t regret the move I made because I invested in a big WAy
I am from Brazil, I and two other of my friends tried her immediately we testified her performing wonders
wow I can brag about this… Miss Stella has changed my accvount in such a way winning is the only standard I knowShe gave her clients nice attention
Hello How much exactly does she make of you in every trade
No exact amount but a profit range from $1200 to $5000 depending on the coin fluctuating in market
Maybe don’t build your home on a volcano?
Not too surprising when you live on the slopes of an active volcano. What’s concerning is the volcano appears to be growing in activity and the authorities have not ordered an evacuation of the islanders. These people are being exposed to dangerous air full of tiny sharp glass particles that can damage eyes and lungs. When the lava reaches the sea and reacts with salt water, it will cause dangerous gasses.
In Pompeii they also thought it’s just a small eruption, and we all know how it all ended up. Get out of there, while still you can🏃🏃🏃
May the Holy Spirit protect and strengthen and have Mercy on those affected by the Volcanic Eruption in Jesus name amen
Its as effective as a nuclear bomb even the and toxic gas is like radiation
0:28 “How to explain this loss to your grandchildren wonders Andrea..”
Hmm… 🤔 How about:
“We built our house on an active volcano, which then erupted and burned the house down.”
