Power has now been restored to homes after a fierce storm lashed northern England over the last few days. I feel so sorry for the people whose Christmas was ruined by floods. Now they have to face cleaning up their soaked possessions and carry on with their lives.
However, on the other side of the world, thousands of people are leaving their homes after a volcano erupted in eastern El Salvador, that's south of Mexico (I had to look it up).

Residents in the coffee-producing region of the San Miguel province heard a powerful explosion before the Chaparrastique volcano began spewing hot ash and smoke into the air after a lull of after 37 years. The volcano spewed lava in 1976 and caused a strong tremor in the area in 2010.
The Salvadoran government detected increased activity inside the volcano, and has been monitoring the situation since 13 December amongst the 20 volcanoes in the small Central American nation.

Fortunately, nobody has been hurt. Civil protection authorities are setting up temporary shelters for the 5,000 evacuated people living in a 3km (2 mile) radius. About 300 communities live around the volcano.
So many people around the world are displaced and suffering right now because of natural disasters and conflict among the people. Today's news reveals thousands of children are likely to have been separated from their families as a result of the latest violence in South Sudan. Children are our future. I hope the people who care for them are kind.
