Hurricane Eta tears through Central America, leaving death and destruction in its wake since it first rocked Nicaragua as a Category 4 hurricane.

In Panama, the damage was concentrated in the province of Chiriqui, on the border with Costa Rica, where eight people have died so far and 68 are missing, according to the latest report by Security Minister Juan Pino.

Rescue workers tirelessly lift the wounded from a landslide in Bambito, Panama.
