Central America has been grappling with a devastating situation as more than a dozen people have lost their lives due to heavy rainfall, flooding, and landslides triggered by Tropical Storm Alberto. The storm, combined with abundant tropical moisture within the Central American gyre, has wreaked havoc across the region.
In El Salvador, the relentless rains have claimed the lives of at least 11 individuals, including eight adults and three minors. Tragically, three of the victims were fatally struck by fallen trees. The western region of Ahuachapán and the coastal areas have borne the brunt of the flooding, river overflows, and landslides.
