According to Ing. Carlos Flores, the airport administrator, the terminal is now clean, they are only awaiting authorization from the radar tower to commence operations (probably by tomorrow, Thursday). This exclusive photo by one of our photographers, Alvaro Gutierrez, shows that the terminal is now clean and ready for business.
Here's a photograph of the RNMC camped under the Democracy bridge in El Progreso. They are running supply missions on the Ulua River to service many flooded banana field communities.
Saba/Sava Colon Area:
That whole area of Colon was flooded and has become isolated from the rest of the country since bridges are down.
Presently Olanchito has been receiving supplies by US helicopters coordinated by Roberto Rojas of the Office of
Foreign Disaster Assistance
(the "hitchhiker" in the attached photo taken by Michael Battistoni).
Later this week, the
area should become penetrable through Limones on the Olancho road from Tegucigalpa. The road to La Ceiba has too
many bridges down (including the one over the Cangregal River) to get to Sava.
