New WFP Video from Honduras Shows Climate, COVID and Skyrocketing Hunger Driving Migration from Central America (For the Media)

The number of hungry people in Central America has nearly quadrupled over two years. Devastating hurricanes compounded economic shocks caused by COVID-19 leaving millions without an income and many planning to migrate.
Agricultural and coastal communities in the Dry Corridor have borne the brunt of a years-long climate emergency that was exacerbated by hurricanes Eta and Iota last year. They are struggling to meet even their most basic needs.
WFP calls on the international community to support its efforts in Central America to provide immediate assistance to hard-hit communities and build their resilience.
