This context has been likened to a war situation. The internally displaced people live in slums or informal settlements in big cities that are increasingly controlled by gangs, and lack basic services, education, and in- come opportunities. Despite nascent government efforts, the inability of the governments to protect people forces many to flee their countries. Most flee to Mexico and the US, or to Costa Rica and Panama. Hundreds of thousands are deported back to their home countries, where they require assis- tance and protection.

  • The Northern Triangle: Building Trust, Creating Opportunities
    The Northern Triangle: Building Trust, Creating Opportunities Strategic Actions of the Plan of the Alliance for the Prosperity of the Northern Triangle El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras The Northern Triangle 1 The main challenge we face is the lack of opportunities The pace of economic growth in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras (the countries of Central America’s Northern Triangle) has been low, and has not made it possible to bring about a substantial change in the generation of opportunities for progress available to a mostly young and growing population. This non- inclusive growth, the lack of opportunities, and the upsurge of violence and insecurity have become the main drivers of emigration from our countries. Three times more Lack of Low growth vulnerable to natural opportunities and poverty disasters than the rest of Low and Latin America for young non-inclusive people economic growth 30 percent of youths aged 14–25 57 percent of the (1.7 million people) population live in poverty, with neither study marked territorial disparities nor work 2 Building Trust, Creating Opportunities The outflow of migrants assumed particular significance in 2014, when there was a substantial rise in the number of minors arriving in the United States without documentation and unaccompanied by an adult.

  • CENTRAL AMERICA: 2020 Hurricane Season Situation Report No
    CENTRAL AMERICA: 2020 Hurricane Season Situation Report No. 3 As of 8:00am EST 16 November 2020 This report is produced by OCHA in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 10 to 15 November 2020. The next report will be issued on or around 18 November. KEY POINTS • Millions of people in Central America still reeling from Eta’s impact are facing the threat of a second major hurricane in as many weeks with the imminent arrival of Iota, set to strike potentially a Category 5 storm by 16 November in the evening along virtually the same path as Eta. • Iota comes as national authorities and humanitarian organizations continue to reach previously isolated communities, especially in Honduras and Guatemala, to respond and gain information on their needs. This gradual restoration of access is revealing the sobering magnitude of Eta’s impact and the catastrophic effects that Iota may bring on these communities. • While humanitarian organizations continue to carry out priority response efforts in affected communities, reports from the field indicate dire shelter conditions amid overcrowding, incidents of violence, gender-based violence and family separation, limited access to safe water, food and protection and inadequate COVID-19 prevention measures, conditions that Iota is likely to further strain with pre-emptive evacuations and the high Source: National governments and/or civil protection systems. likelihood of longer term stays in the wake of a storm of These numbers are for orientation and are not conclusive.The boundaries and Iota’s projected intensity. names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations.
