Storm number 28 of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season called ETA began to affect northern Honduras as a Category 4 hurricane as it approached the coast of Nicaragua on November 3, causing torrential rains that, according to the forecast of the United States National Hurricane Center (NHC), left up to 635 mm of rain and caused winds of up to 275 km/h, flooding much of Honduras and causing the level of rivers, floods and landslides to rise throughout the country.

Two weeks later, the country faced the impacts of a second hurricane (IOTA) reaching category 5 on the Saffir Simpson scale, increasing the number of families affected; These impacts have generated a number of humanitarian needs in hundreds of thousands of people in vulnerable communities who are now facing the stark reality of recovering from the greatest natural disaster Honduras has suffered in the last 20 years.

Two weeks later, the country faced the impacts of a second hurricane (IOTA) reaching category 5 on the Saffir Simpson scale, increasing the number of families affected. These impacts have generated a number of humanitarian needs for hundreds of thousands of people in vulnerable communities who are now facing the stark reality of recovering from the greatest natural disaster Honduras has suffered in the last 20 years. The huge increase in humanitarian needs requires a comprehensive response in food security, health, WASH, shelter, protection and education, to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the country.
