Flooding in El Salvador

Al Jazeera has video coverage of the storms in El Salvador. (The link was down yesterday but back up today - h/t Tim)



President Funes intends to ask the United States to stop deporting Salvadorans from the United States and to not let TPS expire in March. He'll probably get more traction on the second part of his request than the first.

Brazil has announced that it will donate 1,100 tons of rice and beans and $100,000 to El Salvador. Japan, Germany, Taiwan, Guatemala, Venezuela, Spain, the US and Chile have also announced that they will be providing assistance of some sort.
