ECUADOR-VOLCANO-TUNGURAHUA


An elderly woman, evacuated from the village of Cusua, sleeps under the stairs of the church of Pingue in southern Ecuador, early July 18th, 2006. The Tungurahua volcano, which has buried thousands of farms in ash and threatened to "boil over" and dump lava on a nearby town, erupted for a fifth day Tuesday. So far, a four-kilometer-high column of ash has done the most damage, affecting some 100,000 people who live on area farms. Explosions were heard for days, said Geophysical Institute engineer Pablo Samaniego, who compared the volcanic activity to a "pot of milk waiting to boil over at any moment".
