Hundreds of pets have been rescued from Iceland’s town of Grindavik, after they were separated from their owners over threats of an imminent volcanic eruption. Charities have taken part in a number of rescue efforts in a bid to save animals in the town with rescuers returning to look for animals. Cats, dogs, hamsters and even hens were at the centre of rescue efforts after many were left behind following evacuation orders which gave residents minutes to leave. Over 4,000 people were evacuated. Charities and other organisations stepped in to save the day as many happy reunions took place amid the bittersweet circumstances of evacuation. Hannah Everson, manager of Kattholt Animal Shelter, said she went back to the town to search for animals. She was able to collect a total of 49 animals. She reports that many pets were traumatised and “having trouble eating, or peeing and pooping”. She reports one cat in particular suffered from “after-tremor shakes” for 24 hours. “Some of the cats are still there,” she said. “They are hiding in the cracks after the earthquake, because it’s warm there. What happens if the lava bursts through?” The Dog and Cat Hotel in Asbru, run by Harpa Lind, Sæunn Hermannsdóttir and Elmar Magnússon, have been offering free stays for animals that couldn’t go with their owners. Matthias and Lana Jonsson were reunited with their pugs Mafia and Maria after an excruciating 11 days when they were given just 10 minutes to leave their home. The couple were forced to stay at a hotel that didn’t accept pets but instead were able to give them up to the Dog and Cat Hotel who were offering lodgings for free to 30 cats and 20 dogs. Matthias said: “We had 10 minutes to grab everything we could. It was scary. We haven’t been let back in yet. To see the pictures of the town being ripped apart. We don’t know if we will ever go back again. “It’s been absolutely horrible to be separated from them but we had no space at all.” Maria said: “It was so heartbreaking to leave my babies but now we are a full family again.” Ms Lind said: “There have been a lot of tears but people are just happy they dont have to give them up altogether. We wanted to help just remove that extra stress that they are going through. “People are having to pay double rent or struggling to find places to move. Residents are still calling us and we will take them all for as long as it takes.” Dyrfinna, a charity that specialises in reuniting lost pets with their owners, worked with first responders to secure the evacuation of animals in the town. Following earthquakes in Grindavik, it made a painstakingly thorough attempt to map every pet that needed rescuing, which was estimated by some to be around 300. They were also able to confirm that thousands of hens had also been evacuated by emergency workers. In a post on X, they said: “The actions of the last few days have been characterised by a great struggle for the animals who do not have a voice and their owners. “The owners and people in Grindavík have been very involved in getting the animals out with excellent results.” Additional reporting by Maira Butt Read More Inside the abandoned Iceland town left in limbo by a volcano Israel and Ukraine could face each other in a playoff final for a spot at soccer's Euro 2024 Iceland volcano: Evacuation zone ‘still dangerous’ as eruption imminent – live Iceland residents describe ‘apocalyptic’ scenes as they flee volcano threat Is it safe to travel to Iceland?

A five-year-old girl is among those injured after five people, including three children were reportedly stabbed in a serious incident in Dublin city centre. The attack unfolded shortly after 1.30pm in Parnell Square East, on the north side of the Irish capital, with local media reporting it happening near a girls school. A spokesperson for the Irish police force, the Garda, said: “Five casualties have been taken to various hospitals in the Dublin region. “The casualties include an adult male, an adult female and three young children. “One child, a girl, has sustained serious injuries, the other two children are being treated for less serious injuries.” They added that the parents of all three children have been informed. Meanwhile, an adult female is being treated for serious injuries while a man is receiving treatment for less serious wounds. An eyewitness told the broadcaster RTE that she had seen a man making a “stabbing motion” towards children while holding a knife, before he was disarmed. The scene remains cordoned off and an individual has been detained and arrested. The Garda confirmed that they were no longer looking for any other person in connection with the incident.
