Tegucigalpa, Nov 6 (Prensa Latina) Honduras registers over 44 thousand people affected by the intense rains associated with various atmospheric phenomena that hit the country in recent days.

According to a report, the rains have affected 13 out of 18 Honduran departments.

The report added that this has had a direct impact on population mobility and logistics in the damaged areas.

Reports indicate there were damages in 76 sections of roads, accompanied by 13 landslides throughout the national territory.

The flooding caused by the downpours damaged over 250 homes and 24 bridges, among other harms, which intensifies the problem and the need for an effective and coordinated response to care for the victims.

The Government decreed a state of national emergency last Friday.

The Secretary of State reported through the National Risk and Contingency Management Offices that this phase will be active throughout the country during the duration of the current cyclone season.
