Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has declared a state of emergency due to severe droughts and impending floods linked to the El Nino climate phenomenon. According to a recent government report, over 78,000 families across six administrative regions are affected by the drought, while more than 75,000 head of livestock have been lost. The declaration allows for the mobilization of additional financial resources and rescue personnel to assist the hardest-hit areas. The United Nations warned this week that the current El Nino phase could reach unprecedented intensity, potentially exceeding measurement scales used for four decades. Neighboring countries are also experiencing impacts, including wildfires in Peru that killed at least twelve people and record rainfall in Chile.
