What happened
Torrential rains linked to El Nino have caused flooding across Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, with the Parana, Uruguay, and Iguazu rivers spilling over their banks. In Argentina’s north-eastern Corrientes province, the Parana River reached 15.4 feet in Ituzaingo, prompting evacuations. Ranchers in the region have been moving cattle to higher ground due to flooded pastures.
