La Reina, Honduras, Dec 17 (efe-epa).- Residents of the western Honduras village of La Reina, which was buried on Nov. 24 in a landslide, rely on their Christian faith and believe none of its residents died in the disaster because God did not want it to happen.
“There were no deaths here because God did not want them,” Rosendo Ramírez, one of the victims of 100 families who lived in La Reina, located in the department of Santa Bárbara, told EFE.
The cause of the landslide was the heavy rain brought by hurricanes Eta and Iota.
