Tegucigalpa, Dec 16 (Prensa Latina) Honduran solidarity movements with Cuba cheerly welcomed on Wednesday the medical brigade that will assist the population affected by Hurricanes Eta and Iota in the called Zone Zero.
The arrival of 25 Cuban healthcare professionals took place through the Toncontin International Airport, which serves this capital, and then they embarked on a journey of over five hours to the department of Yoro, in the center-north, Cuban Ambassador Francisco Emilio Delgado explained to Prensa Latina.
The brigade s final destination will be Urraco Pueblo, south of the municipality of El Progreso, which is part of Zone Zero, the neediest area for assistance after the ravages of the floods caused by Hurricanes Eta and Iota.

Places, Things To Do, & Costs When Visiting Honduras LA CEIBA, LA CEIBA, HONDURAS , December 14, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ Honduras is one of the world s most underrated travel destinations. It s a bucket-list-worthy locale that goes unseen by many tourists, and that s part of what makes it so special. In fact, visiting Honduras changed my entire outlook on the Caribbean and Central America as a whole. The Caribbean islands of Honduras are unimaginably picturesque. Roatan, which sits roughly 40 miles off the coast of mainland Honduras, is the most popular of the Bay Islands. Despite its standing as the most visited of the islands, it still felt like an entirely different world than more popular Central American destinations, like Costa Rica and Panama.

During a week in which millions of Americans were glued to their TVs awaiting presidential election results, Hurricane Eta devastated Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
For cousins Gabriela Casco and Norman Bonano, that meant the rural Honduran villages their parents had immigrated from were flooded. The Jersey City natives spontaneously began collecting money and materials to send over, and it has now become a full-fledged mutual aid relief effort that the cousins plan to operate through the end of the month.
They’ve raised more than $6,000, much of which has already been sent to Honduras and used to purchase emergency supplies. A handful of bags of clothes and food is also starting to pile up in Bonano’s Masonic lodge in Bayonne.
