Municipal authorities and the National Emergency Commission (CNE) demolished about 20 houses located in an area at risk for imminent landslides in Quebrada Honda de Mora.
The risk started after a landslide that occurred last Friday in the Alto de San Juan de Quitirrisí. About 4 hectares of a coffee plantation were affected by the rains and there is a high risk in the area.
People are very upset, the Red Cross have attended 2 people because of nervous breakdown (…) It is not easy to accept that you have to leave your home and that a tractor is going to pass over it,”
said Gabriel Solórzano Soto, a Quebrada Honda de Mora resident, who is not affected by the situation but lives only 400 meters from the demolished houses.
For those who want to, the municipality enabled a shelter in Brasil de Mora and also a municipal warehouse to store furniture. Meanwhile, authorities and the Institute for Social Aid (IMAS) are looking for a solution.
