Army troops
bum bodies
CHOLOMA, Honduras (UPI)
— Army troops burned the
bodies of thousands of Hurri
cane Fifi victims today and
sent out a desperate “world
SOS” for help in saving
survivors stranded in villages
swarming with poisonous sna
kes.
“This is the worst moment in
the nation’s 150-year history,”
Juan Bautista Vaca, a govern
ment civil defense spokesman,
told newsmen in the Honduran
capital of Tegucigalpa.
The National Emergency
Committee, Honduras’ civil
defense network, reported at
least 5,000 persons dead, 50,000
homeless and more than SSOO
million in damages.
Officials in northern Hon
duras said most of the victims
were in battered cities, towns
and farming villages along the
Caribbean coast —Choloma, La
Ceiba, Progreso, Omoa, Olan
chito and San Pedro Sula.
A U.S. military officer in
Tegucigalpa reported 10 out of
70 Peace Corps volunteers in
northern Honduras still unac
counted for.
The Morman Church in Salt
Lake City, Utah, said two of its
40 missionaries in Honduras —
Robert Loosle of Provo, Utah,
and Earl Hansen of Lakeside,
Ariz. —were missing near La
Ceiba.
“They found bodies and
bodies and bodies —so many
they could not bury them,” a
government rescue spokesman
said. “They had to bum them.”
Officials reported thousands
of poisonous green and black
fer-de-lance snakes swimming
onto crowded rooftops to attack
families seeking refuge from
the churning flood waters.
“Please, we desperately need
helicopters,” the emergency
committee said in an appeal to
foreign newsmen in Tegucigal
pa. “Please send out a world
SOS.”
The United States, Cuba,
West Germany, Australia, Mex
ico, Colombia, Panama and
Nicaragua were among the first
countries to heed Honduran
calls for help.
The U.S. Southern Defense
Command flew shuttle flights
from the Panama Canal Zone
to the flood-stricken region,
bringing water purification
units, vaccines and medicine.
The Cuban government of
Prime Minister Fidel Castro
sent a planeload of doctors,
medicines and rescue supplies
from Havana to northern
Honduras.
In New York, the Honduras
Information Service issued an
appeal for U.S. contributions of
food, medicine, blood, plasma,
water purification tablets, anti
obiotics, clothing, bandages,
tents, blankets and plastic
dishes.
In the devastated village of
Olanchito, rescue worker Max
Sorto Batres reported swollen
waters dragging “human
beings, both dead and alive, as
well as animals, houses and
people” down the Aguan River.
“There are people in tree
tops, on roofs, and on rafts still
waiting to be rescued,” he said.
UPI correspondent Jonathan
Roussel, a pilot, flew over
battered northern Honduras
and reported columns of black
smoke rising from dozens of
impromptu funeral pyres in
devastated towns.
Capt. Luis Discua, a govern
ment spokesman in Tegucigal
pa, said the decomposed bodies
were burned to prevent epidem
ics because “so many bodies
have been exposed to the
elements.”
Hurricane Fifi roared up the
coast of Hunduras Wednesday
and Thursday, but lost force
sweeping through Belize and
southern Mexico. Fifi was
downgraded to a tropical storm
Friday.
