Hurricanes over Central America

Two community members of Quejá are crying while remember what happened in their village.

Central America is confronting a catastrophe: the mass destruction caused by two ferocious hurricanes that hit in quick succession in November pummeling the same fragile countries, twice. The storms, Eta and Iota, the most powerful in an already record breaking season, demolished tens of thousands of homes, wiped out infrastructure and swallowed vast swaths of cropland.
