Argentina: flooding in the Chaco

21 March 2025

Heavy rains in northern Argentina have caused the Pilcomayo and Bermejo rivers to burst their banks, flooding some communities and cutting off others. More than 19 communities and 2000 people are affected: several hundred people have been evacuated but others are still waiting for help to arrive. The Anglican Church of Northern Argentina is mobilising to respond and is already beginning to help those most in need. Please pray for the flooding to recede and for help to arrive with those who most need it. Particularly pray for all of those who have been evacuated, cut off, lost homes and possessions and for those who need help at this time.
