La Palma lava blocks roads as over 2,500 buildings are destroyed

VOLCANIC lava oozing from La Palma's volcano engulfs main roads and blocks off routes, as over 2,500 buildings have already been destroyed.


The Cumbre Vieja volcano enters it's seventh straight week of eruptions as emergency services do all they can to protect the community and clear volcanic ash from buildings.


As of Monday, lava from the volcano has covered more than 960 hectares (2372 acres) of land, destroying more than 2,600 buildings and many banana plantations since the eruption started on September 19.


Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Spain would speed up aid to the hard-hit agriculture and fishing industries on the island. More than 7,000 people have had to evacuate their homes.
