Floods and heavy rain jeopardize Bolivians

Hundreds of thousands of Bolivians have been left homeless and in danger after weeks of heavy rains and floods throughout the country. For instance, rising flood waters threaten to inundate entire villages and cities such as the capital of the northeastern province of Beni. Foreign aid is slowly trickling into Bolivia though conditions make it difficult to distribute even the most basic items.
