Casanare, a department in eastern Colombia, is experiencing severe flooding due to heavy rainfall, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Over 4,200 families have been affected, with many areas such as Yopal, Algarrobo, San Luis de Palenque, and Hato Corozal under water. The governor of Casanare, César Augusto Ortiz, has declared a state of public calamity and outlined emergency measures.
