Bolivia declares emergency after floods kill over 50

Let's begin in Bolivia, which has seen torrential rains and severe flooding. Give us the updates.

Yes. Bolivia is battling against severe flooding as rainfall continues to batter the nation.

On Wednesday, Bolivian President Luis Arce announced a national emergency in response to the worst flooding the country has experienced in four decades.

Continuous heavy rains have led to widespread flooding across all nine departmental regions, with Beni, Pando, and northern La Paz among the hardest-hit areas.

This has resulted in at least 51 deaths, displaced tens of thousands, and affected more than 370,000 families nationwide.

The Bolivian government is speeding up emergency funding and aid deliveries.

While Bolivia's rainy season typically lasts from November to March, authorities forecast the intense rains to last until mid-April.
