War on gangs in El Salvador, a man disappears every 24 hours

In El Salvador, a small Central American country that has been waging a "war" against organized crime since the spring of 2022, an average of one person is disappearing every day, non-governmental organizations reported, citing data from prosecutors.

The data on the disappearances of people in El Salvador is shocking. The Attorney General's Office said that 366 people have disappeared in the 12 months to May 31 of this year.

After a series of killings, President Bukele declared a state of emergency, putting the army on the streets and limiting constitutional rights. President Bukele rejects the criticism and boasts that El Salvador is now "the safest country in the Western Hemisphere."

According to Idalia Cepeda, a member of the collective, the 366 disappearances registered in the last year is a number increased by almost 10%, if we take into account the estimates of the UN and the American Agency for International Development (USAID) for the previous year.

The Task Force on the Missing has created an online portal for the missing to take a more complete inventory and provide support to the families of the missing.
