Reuters is reporting the death toll in the volcanic eruption in Guatemala is now 62. The Fuego volcano which is about 40km southwest of the capital Guatemala City spewed rock gas and ash into the sky on Monday in the most violent volcano eruption in the country in more than a century. The eruption was followed by an earthquake. Charity worker Duncan Dyason is in Guatemala City and says volcanic ash is raining down.
