Ep. 12: Hurricane Eta: "Only the People Save the People"

Hurricane Eta has devastated large parts of Honduras's most populated regions. Even before making landfall in Nicaragua on November 3, 2020, rivers around the country began spilling over forcing thousands of people to flee their homes to escape the catastrophic flooding.

Host Karen Spring shares an interview with one man about his experiences rescuing people by boat the days during and after the peak of the disaster. It's now over a week later and some Hondurans are still on their rooftops waiting to be rescued. So much of the rescuing and disaster relief is being done by Honduras. With the government largely absent, Hondurans are emphasizing that "only the people, save the people".
