Hurricane Victims Clamor for Food and Aid to Rebuild

Every night since Hurricanes Eta and Iota hit, Taurina Chacon tries to sleep in order not to feel the hunger. She lives in Nicaragua’s North Caribbean and suffered the passage of Eta on November 3rd, and then Iota on November 16th. Since then, she’s gone hungry. Sometimes she does manage to sleep. Other nights, though, the whimpering of the children, shivering with cold, won’t let her sleep. Or she hears the elderly tossing and turning on the floor where they’re trying to get some rest.

Chacon says she’s feeling “desperate”.
