Wendy Morton – 2020 Comments on UK Support to Central American Hurricane Response

The comments made by Wendy Morton, the Minister for the European Neighbourhood and the Americas, on 18 November 2020.

The impact of these hurricanes has been devastating, especially as the same region has been hit twice in a matter of weeks. Our thoughts are with those who have lost their loved ones and their homes.

The UK is increasing support to help those in need, through both our humanitarian and military assistance, providing life-saving shelter, clean water and medicine to people in desperate need.
