Hurricanes over Central America

People from Quejá village are sheltered in the church of Santa Elena village, after a landslide destroyed Quejá. Church is also use to storage aid for refugees.

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.
