Lava has covered almost 900 ha of land, destroying more than 2,000 buildings and many banana plantations. More than 7,000 people have had to leave their homes since the eruption started on Sep 19.
"At the cabinet meeting next Tuesday we are going to make a budgetary modification to accelerate the arrival of economic resources for both the Employment Plan and aid for the entire agriculture and fishing sector," Sanchez said at a press conference during his fifth visit to the island since the eruption began.
In early October, Sanchez announced €206 million in government funding for the island to rebuild infrastructure and boost employment, agriculture and tourism.
