Honduras

Hurricane Eta hit the north of Honduras on 3 November 2020 and caused flooding and landslides across the entire country, making it the worst natural disaster that Honduras has endured for over 20 years. Within two weeks, the category 5 hurricane Iota hit a similar area as Eta, further exacerbating the situation in the north of Honduras. Together with existing factors such as forced displacement, the COVID-19 pandemic and dengue epidemic, the capacity to respond to multiple concurrent emergencies is limited. The Ministry of Health, mesa de cooperantes en salud y reforma (Mesa CESAR) and other partners of the Honduras Health Cluster estimate that damage to health infrastructure as a result of the hurricanes has left approximately 250 000 without access or with limited access to health services.
