4. What happened after the eruption?
After the volcano erupted and during the days that followed 847 people died, 184 people were injured and 23 people were missing. A group of doctors which called themselves ‘barefoot doctors’ was established in 1974 to help people in need of help. But 20 years after they still need help to build houses for the millions of people who were homeless. Many people are still sick and homeless right now.
