Heavy rains across several South American regions have caused widespread flooding and significant agricultural damage. In Venezuela, the president of Fedeagro, Osman Quero Perez, reported that recent rains have resulted in the total loss of 150 hectares and partial damage to another 250 hectares of cultivable land. The state of Amazonas is experiencing an escalating emergency due to the rising levels of the Orinoco River, which has affected 171 families in Puerto Ayacucho and a total of 199 families across the region, according to Governor Miguel Rodríguez. In Barinas, approximately 2,500 families have been impacted, with local authorities pledging immediate assistance. The flooding of the Rio Negro in Amazonas has put more than 500,000 people at risk, leading to emergency declarations in 40 municipalities. In Colombia, the departments of Huila and Chocó are also facing critical situations; two reservoirs in Huila reached maximum capacity, necessitating the opening of floodgates, while flooding in Chocó is disrupting food supplies and transportation. Overall, thousands of hectares of land have been destroyed, and hundreds of families remain displaced across these affected areas.
