Jets of red hot lava shot high into the sky on the Spanish island of La Palma on Thursday morning as toxic ash from the Cumbre Vieja volcano coated the surrounding area and authorities sought shelter for thousands of people forced to flee. For a fifth day, lava flowing down the slopes of the volcano engulfed houses, schools and banana plantations, although more slowly than in previous days. FRANCE 24's Sarah Morris tells us more.

The volcanic eruption and its aftermath could last for up to 84 days, experts said Wednesday. FRANCE 24's Sarah Morris tells us more.
