Paraguay

Geography, Climate, and Environment
In the latter half of 2015, Paraguay was hit with the worsr El Nino in more than 15 years, forcing the Paraguayan government to declare a state of emergency in Asuncion and seven regions of the country to free up funds to help those affected. The weather phenomenon exacerbated summer rains, swelling rivers in the region. With further rain looming in late December 2015, more families abandoned their homes as more than 100,000 people had been already forced to evacuate.
