EL SALVADOR DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE IDA
DONATE TO DISASTER RELIEF TODAY

Hurricane Ida hit El Salvador on Saturday, November 7, devastating the country, especially the capital of San Salvador and the departments of San Vicente and Cuscatlán. Though 13,000 families were evacuated, there are already 150 deaths reported as a result of landslides and massive flooding. Hundreds of homes have been completely destroyed and thousands more damaged.

Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes has called on the international community to support the rescue and disaster relief efforts. Brazil and Guatemala have been the first to respond, followed by Cuba, Japan, Panama, and Venezuela, as well as the European Union and the United Nations.

Hugo Martinez, Minster of Foreign Relations, stated, “The Salvadoran people are not alone. We have had the voice of solidarity from various countries in the world … and this help will be immediately channeled.”
