Honduras | Hurricane | 2020

Finding Hope in Honduras

It begun with Hurricane Eta hitting landfall on the 3rd of November, 2020. This was quickly followed by Hurricane Iota, also a category 4 storm, devastating the same communities in northern Honduras that had little, if anything, more to lose.

With the streets still flooded and access to clean water and medical care difficult to come by, the family recently visited the newly opened Samaritan’s Purse Emergency Field Hospital to receive vitamins and treatment for head pain likely caused by dehydration. Our medical facility, along with additional relief supplies, was airlifted to Honduras on Nov. 11 in the wake of the first hurricane.

Samaritan’s Purse continued to the needs of hurting communities across Honduras, then ramped up the response to distribute additional hygiene kits and emergency shelter materials to families in need. Along with the mobile medical care, teams will distribute aid to families in communities isolated by flooding—continuing to partner with the local church to remind them that God loves them and they are not forgotten.
