  • Hurricanes Eta and Iota on the Updated December 15Th, 2020 Segunda/Postrera Cropping Season in Central America
    SPECIALSPECIAL REPORT REPORT www.cropmonitor.orgwww.cropmonitor.org Impact of November Hurricanes Eta and Iota on the Updated December 15th, 2020 Segunda/Postrera Cropping Season in Central America Highlights • The start of the Segunda/Postrera agricultural season in Central America was generally favourable from August through October with above-average rainfall resulting in good crop development. • Crop conditions quickly deteriorated in November across parts of the region impacted by the passing of two Category 4 hurricanes, Hurricanes Eta and Iota. • The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season has been the most active ever recorded with 30 named storms, more than twice the long-term yearly average of 12, and the only season with two major hurricanes in November. This has resulted in one of the wettest October to November periods since 1981 across parts of Central America. • In early November, Hurricane Eta crossed Central America and affected an estimated 4 million people across the region as persistent rains and heavy winds resulted in flooding, landslides, and crop damage across Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Figure 1. Crop conditions over Central America and the Caribbean as of November 28th, 2020. Source: GEOGLAM Crop Monitor for Early Warning December Bulletin Guatemala. th • Two weeks later on November 17 , Hurricane Iota made landfall over northern Nicaragua as a Category 4 hurricane, the strongest Atlantic hurricane this year, and extended along virtually the same path as Hurricane Eta (Figure 2). While Iota quickly degraded to a tropical depression, persistent rains and high winds exacerbated previous damage from Eta across Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala. • Excessive flooding and considerable damage to standing crops and agricultural infrastructure have significantly decreased yield prospects for the Segunda/Postrera season crops (Figure 1).

WFP’s Country Strategic Plan contributed to the priorities established by the Government of Guatemala and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and to the COVID-19 National Response Plan. Activities focused on improved food security and enhanced nutrition for early childhood and school-aged children and on resilience building. These efforts ultimately contributed to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 17, directly benefiting about 200,000 people in the country and an estimated 750,000 people indirectly through capacity strengthening support to national institutions. In line with the Government's efforts to curb the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 on food security and nutrition, WFP scaled-up its emergency response operation and provided cash transfers to nearly 30,000 households, for a total of USD 3.4 million.

Guatemala Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006 Guatemala is a democratic republic with a population of approximately 12.7 million. In 2003 national elections, generally considered by international observers to be free and fair, Oscar Berger of the Grand National Alliance coalition (GANA) won a four-year term, which began in January 2004. While the civilian authorities generally maintained control of the security forces, there were some instances in which members of the police force acted independently. While the government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, serious problems remained. Corruption and substantial inadequacies in the police and judicial sectors, widespread societal violence, and impunity for criminal activity continued. The following human rights and societal problems were reported: unlawful killings committed by members of the security forces widespread societal violence, including numerous killings police involvement in kidnappings harsh and dangerous prison conditions arbitrary arrest and detention failure of the judicial system to ensure full and timely investigation, fair trials, or due process failure to protect judicial sector officials, witnesses, and civil society organizations from intimidation impunity discrimination and violence against women trafficking in persons, including commercial sexual exploitation of children ethnic discrimination, particularly against indigenous people ineffective enforcement of labor laws, including child labor provisions RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a.

  • Seroprevalence of Trypanosoma Cruzi Infection in Three Rural Communities in Guatemala
    Seroprevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in three rural communities in Guatemala George J. Greer,1 Nancy A. Nix,1 Celia Cordón-Rosales,1 Beatriz Hernández,1 Charles M. MacVean,1 and Malcolm R. Powell 2 ABSTRACT A systematic, house-based serological survey for Trypanosoma cruzi seroreactivity was con- ducted in three contiguous communities in Olopa municipality, Chiquimula Department, Guatemala. Blood samples from a total of 292 individuals in 63 households were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The seropositive rate ranged from 0% to 20.8% for the three communities, with a mean of 15.1%. Log-linear models showed that seroprevalence was significantly related to age (P < 0.005) but not to sex. However, when the age group with the lowest prevalence (1–9 years) was excluded from the analysis, age was not a significant factor (P = 0.55). Data from a stratified sample collected at the same time were combined with those of the systematic sample to analyze the relationship between seropositivity and possible ex- planatory variables. Log-linear models, based on 586 individuals in 129 households from the two surveys, revealed a significant positive association between seropositivity and thatched roofs (P = 0.01). Guatemala is located in the endemic in Oaxaca State, in the southern part MATERIALS AND METHODS zone of Trypanosoma cruzi, which ex- of Mexico on the country’s Pacific tends from the southern United States coast (2). Reports from Guatemala in- Study area and study sample to southern Argentina and Chile (1). dicate that seroprevalence is highest Humans are rarely infected in the among the departments that border The study was carried out in 1995 northern extreme of this range, but El Salvador, Honduras, or the Pacific and 1996 in three contiguous com- seroprevalence of 51% to 76% was re- Ocean (3).
