EL SALVADOR-EARTQUAKE

Cotton candy vendors sell their goods among earthquake damage 20 February, 2001, in Verapaz, 80kms (49 miles) from San Salvador. Hundreds of thousands are facing hunger in the aftermath of a series of earthquakes in poverty-stricken El Salvador now that food stocks have run out, the World Food Program said 20 February. A report by the UN organization said its stock of 450,000 food rations already have been distributed after some 1.3 million of the nation's 6.5 million people were left homeless by devastating back-to-back earthquakes 13 January and 13 February.
