Report from Ruth Orantes - Hurricane Ida devastation in El Salvador

We received the message below on Monday from Ruth Orantes about the impact of Hurricane Ida on El Salvador, seeking our prayers for and our solidarity with people who are struggling in the midst of this crisis.

In news since Ruth's message was sent, the numbers have been rising.   Poor communities in the area of San Salvador have been especially affected.  The hurricane's arrival coincides with the fall season bean harvest.  The destruction of this crucial food source will have a lasting impact in the months ahead. 

The SHARE Foundation reports:
Over the weekend, the storm destroyed more than 7,000 homes and damaged many more.  The most recent data, reported this morning (Monday) in the Prensa Gráfica, indicates that approximately 130 people have been killed by the storm, and thousands more injured.   This total is sure to rise as emergency relief workers continue to work their way through damaged buildings and areas that have experienced landslides.
