HONDURAS: When violence has taken control

[ad_1]

Returned The countries of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala are called the North of Central America. The fact that more and more people from this area continue to join migrant caravans shows how unbearable the situation is for people living in this region.

From 13 October to 15 December 2018, between 12,000 and 16,000 people, divided among five caravans, crossed the border between Guatemala and Mexico. Forty-eight per cent came from Honduras and 39 per cent were from El Salvador.

In 2018, 196,061 people were returned to their homeland in the region. Of those, 72,276 originally came from Honduras.

That’s 38 per cent more than in 2017.

Every day, at least one special aircraft lands at an airport outside the second largest city in Honduras, San Pedro Sula. The plane comes from Houston, Texas. The passengers are Hondurans who risked everything to get to the United States.

Now, they are being sent home again – to poverty and violence.

Humanitarian response should be geared towards the phenomenon of violence related to criminal gangs and tailored to meet the needs of those most vulnerable in the NCA counties. We must provide better options for people besides seek safety and opportunities outside the country.
