Dear World, El Salvador needs you.

 
In the midst of a global pandemic, El Salvador is hurting. On Monday, the government released a state of Emergency warning otherwise known as a “Red Alert” due to the arrival of tropical storm Amanda. Amanda wreaked havoc on the region, unleashing violent floods that claimed at least 14 lives. An eight-year-old died after his house fell in around him, a woman drowned in a swollen river, and a man was crushed beneath the weight of a falling wall.

19,000 families were affected. 2,000 people were put in shelters. And the community, plagued by the hardships of both the pandemic and the devastation of the storm, have nowhere to go for help.

Covid-19   
The effects of Covid-19 have hit extremely hard for this impoverished country with a precarious health care system. Many people are struggling to make end meets as consequence of the stringent stay at home order enforced by the president on March 21st. ,and extended since.

In addition to battling Covid-19, El Salvador has been struck by a deadly tropical storm leaving many families without homes. Due to the tremendous flooding and landslides thousands of homes had been destroyed forcing people to evacuate and relocate in shelters, as they have lost everything even family members. Now, besides facing starvation, many don’t have a home nor quilt to protect themselves and their kids from the rain. In fact, Amanda tropical storm will continue posing these threats over the next several days, said the U.S National Hurricane Center (NHC), expecting to produce rain totals of 15 inches over El Salvador.  Global cooperation is imperative to combat both challenges, Covid-19 and the aftermath of Amanda tropical storm.

Cooperation nation is now activating a call to action to push for a resilient recovery for El Salvador.
