Teguchigalpa, Nov 10 (TIWN) Tropical storm Eta, which ravaged Central America and has now moved towards Cuba, left 26 dead in Honduras, while four others were strill reported missing, the country's disaster relief agency said.

Eta moved over Honduras on Thursday as a tropical depression weakened from a Category 4 hurricane that slammed into Nicaragua. After the storm exited Honduran territory Thursday night, recovery teams have been working to rescue people from flooding, said the Permanent Contingency Commission, adding that more than 1.7 million people were affected.
