At least 30 dead after days of heavy rains in the Northern Triangle At least 30 people have tragically lost their lives following several days of relentless heavy rains across the Northern Triangle region. The Northern Triangle refers to the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, which have been severely affected by the ongoing weather system. The torrential rains have triggered flooding, landslides, and significant infrastructure damage, leading to widespread devastation and displacement in local communities. Emergency response teams are actively engaged in rescue operations and providing assistance to those affected by the natural disaster. The situation remains critical as authorities work to assess the full extent of the damage and provide relief to survivors. The Northern Triangle, prone to such weather-related disasters, is grappling with yet another humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the recent severe weather conditions. #heavyrains #NorthernTriangle

Armenia's Northern Provinces Battle Devastation   This past weekend, torrential rains and flooding hit Armenia’s northern regions, severely affecting Lori and Tavush provinces. 19 bridges and many roads, including the interstate to Georgia and rail service between the two countries, have collapsed or been damaged.  The Armenian government has declared six communities in Lori and three in Tavush as disaster zones. These nine communities encompass 39 settlements affected by the flooding of the Debed and Aghstev rivers.    More than 400 residents have been evacuated, but nine communities remain stranded. Tragically, four people have lost their lives, and others are missing. Many have lost their homes and sources of income.    This is yet another critical period for Armenia, especially for those in the disaster zones. The road to recovery after the deadly flood will be long and hard. As the government assesses the damage and needs, FAR is prepared to help, as we have done so many times before.    Ayo!, FAR's crowdfunding platform, is running a short-term emergency campaign to gather funds to help those who have lost everything pick up the pieces of a broken life.
