Ashes, layers of mud, clouds of dust ... The region of the Taal volcano in the Philippines is unrecognizable. Houses collapsed under the weight of the ashes and imposing cracks crisscross the floors of cities. Residents have no choice but to clear the roads and roofs of houses themselves.
Since January 12, the volcano spits ash and threatens to go into an “explosive eruption” at any time. In recent days, thousands of Filipinos have fled the area.
