The Wales Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign’s sister organisation, NSC, has launched an appeal which the Welsh campaign is supporting (click here to read updates and to make a donation). Felix has left over 100 dead in and around Bilwi (Puerto Cabezas), with 180,000 left homeless, a large percentage of the population in Nicaragua’s North Caribbean region.
Today the Nicaraguan government announced they are to spend $28 million from their budget on immediate humanitarian relief. This follows an appeal by the United Nations on Saturday for $40 million. In contrast to many recent disasters, the response of the international community has been slow.
