Heavy rains and overflowing rivers have caused severe flooding in Bolivia's Santa Cruz region, particularly affecting Achira and Cuevas.

At least six people are reported missing, several injured, and multiple homes fully submerged.

The historic road connecting Santa Cruz to Cochabamba is blocked by mudslides.

Local authorities have called for urgent national and regional support for rescue operations and relief delivery.

Quote of the Day

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.

- Frantz Fanon
