Earthquake in El Salvador... that caused the collapse of a mountain over a whole town...

 

       

 

  • On Saturday, 13 January 2001, a strong earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale struck El Salvador with such magnitude that it was felt in neighboring Honduras and Guatemala and as far north as Mexico City. More than 800 persons lost their lives in the quake and approximately 600,000 were left homeless.
  • The earthquake occurred slightly more than two years after Hurricane Mitch left a deep impact on Central America, including El Salvador. In addition, serious (but unrelated to Mitch) outbreaks of communicable diseases have and continue to strain the country's health resources. All together, the vulnerability of the country and its health institutions is high.
