Victims Desperate

tragedy thousand
Nicaraguan victims lives

can't cope with
supporting victims.
So far, the country has
official confirmed 53
dead, 105 missing
people, some 10,000
destroyed houses and
over 50,000 victims, but
the number of deceased

in the zone before the
passing of the
hurricane, as part of
the collaboration
between both countries,
is giving medical care
to people. |
