The World Health Organization and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) came together for a collaborative effort to strengthen the delivery of emergency medical and health services during humanitarian crises.
WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and IFRC Secretary-General Jagan Chapagain signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on implementing the Emergency Medical Team (EMT) initiative.
Speaking on the collaboration, Dr. Tedros said in an official statement: “We thank the IFRC for their support from the onset of the EMT Initiative and we look forward to this continued partnership in improving the quality of care in emergencies.”
Hundreds of Hondurans trying to start a new caravan to reach the United States border were stopped by Honduran security personnel before they could even reach the border with neighbouring Guatemala.
The Honduran police and immigration agents asked their countrymen to show travel documents and proof of negative coronavirus tests, which none appeared to have.
Many of the migrants said the two recent hurricanes had devastated their homes or livelihoods, and they set out late on Wednesday on a trek towards Guatemala, Mexico and the US border. Last week, Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez himself visited Washington, DC and warned of possible food shortages as a result of the hurricanes.
