Hurricane Iota wreaks havoc across Central America

From Midday Report, 12:47 pm on 19 November 2020

Hurricane Iota - now considered a tropical cyclone - has been wreaking havoc across Central America.

It first hit Nicaragua a couple of days ago, and has since displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

And the pandemic is making matters worse; it's difficult to get verifiable information, but dozens - potentially hundreds - have been killed.

Max Towle spoke to World Vision's regional communications director, Mishelle Mitchell, about the storm.
