Salvadoran medical personnel delivered medicines and supplies to Black River Hospital in Saint Elizabeth as part of the humanitarian mission deployed by President Nayib Bukele to Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa, one of the most powerful storms to hit the Caribbean in recent history.

“The delivered medicines included antibiotics, pain relievers, gauze, IV fluids, antifungal and anti-allergy creams, among other essential supplies,” the Office of the President stated on its official X account.

Authorities reported that a total of two tons of medical supplies were transported to reinforce healthcare in the most heavily affected areas.

Additionally, a medical team from the Solidarity Fund for Health (Fosalud) carried out a mobile clinic in Darliston, providing care to children, the elderly, and individuals suffering from respiratory and skin conditions.

“The goal was to provide direct assistance and ease the burden on local health centers,” the Office of the President reiterated.

As part of the mission, humanitarian aid packages continue to be delivered to hundreds of families, ensuring that support reaches prioritized households.

The relief packages include staple foods such as rice, beans, sugar, cooking oil, tuna, and pasta, along with essential personal hygiene items to help families cope with the emergency, officials said.

“In Gordon Town, the work of the Salvadoran teams stood out for their close engagement with the community and their focus on assisting the most vulnerable first. The humanitarian approach emphasized efficiency in every delivery,” the statement added.

The mission is comprised of more than 300 professionals, including members of the Salvadoran Fire Department, Civil Protection, the Armed Forces (FAES), the National Civil Police (PNC), and healthcare personnel.

In coordination with the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), teams have also been deployed to clear debris and remove fallen trees blocking roads and homes, reducing risks and restoring mobility to the affected areas.

Hurricane Melissa, which reached Category 5 status with winds exceeding 290 km/h, struck the island last week, leaving at least 32 people dead and causing devastation comparable to some of the region’s worst natural disasters. Major impacts were reported in road infrastructure, housing, schools, hospitals, and the electrical system, along with severe damage to the tourism sector.

Bolivia’s center-right leader Rodrigo Paz was sworn in as president on Saturday, marking the end of two decades of socialist administrations as the country faces its worst economic crisis in 40 years.

The 58-year-old president, son of former leader Jaime Paz (1989–1993), was welcomed with applause inside Bolivia’s legislative palace in downtown La Paz by lawmakers and international delegations.

A torrential downpour over the high-altitude capital set the tone for the official ceremony, while the main government square — home to both the Presidential Palace and Parliament — remained under tight police security.

“God, family and homeland: I do solemnly swear!” declared Paz, taking the oath administered by his vice president, Edmand Lara, a former police officer.

After winning the October runoff as the candidate of the Christian Democratic Party, Paz takes office amid a severe economic downturn driven by shortages of U.S. dollars and fuel.

Outgoing president Luis Arce nearly depleted the country’s foreign currency reserves to sustain universal gasoline and diesel subsidies.

Annual inflation in October reached 19%, after peaking at 25% in July.

Paz has pledged to slash fuel subsidies by more than half and implement a “capitalism for all” strategy focused on formalizing the economy, cutting red tape and reducing taxes.

More than 50 international delegations attended the inauguration ceremony in the Andean capital, situated 3,600 meters above sea level. Notable guests included U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and the presidents Gabriel Boric of Chile, Javier Milei of Argentina and Yamandú Orsi of Uruguay, among others.

La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, presentó este jueves un plan nacional para fortalecer las denuncias y endurecer las sanciones por abuso sexual en todo el país, una problemática que este año ha dejado miles de víctimas.

El anuncio se da dos días después de que la propia mandataria fuera agredida mientras saludaba a simpatizantes en el Centro Histórico de Ciudad de México. Durante la caminata, un hombre se acercó por detrás, le pasó un brazo por encima del hombro, le tocó la cadera y el pecho, e intentó besarla en el cuello. Las imágenes del momento se viralizaron en redes sociales.

Inicialmente, Sheinbaum no se dio cuenta de lo ocurrido y accedió a tomarse una fotografía con el sujeto, visiblemente confundida. Posteriormente, el agresor fue detenido, tras haber atacado ese mismo día a otras dos mujeres, y la presidenta presentó una denuncia por acoso sexual.

Sheinbaum, de 63 años y primera mujer en ocupar la Presidencia de México, insistió en la necesidad de reformar el marco legal para que estas conductas sean tipificadas como delitos en todas las entidades y “que la mujer tenga un espacio de denuncia ágil, expedito y que realmente permita que se haga justicia”.
