The Fuego volcano, about 40km (25 miles) south-west of Guatemala's capital, erupted on 3 June, killing at least 75 people with 192 still missing.

Emergency services are working to find survivors after a searing cloud of debris hit El Rodeo and other towns on the volcano's slopes.

Work was disrupted on Tuesday when a new eruption sent hot gas and molten rock streaming down its south side.
