International aid has started to arrive in Bolivia which in recent weeks has seen the worst flooding in 25 years. The floods have killed nearly 40, with tens of thousands of people forced from their homes. Health officials have also reported outbreaks of dengue fever. While aid has arrived, landslides are delaying the evacuation of flood zones. President Evo Morales blames the floods on developed states failing to tackle climate change. Meteorologists say the El Nino phenomenon is the root cause. Issuing an appeal for $9.2m, the UN described the flooding as the country's most devastating disaster ever, warning that water supplies and sanitation conditions have been severely contaminated. The first shipment of international aid has now started arriving in Bolivia from Venezuela and neighbouring Peru, with Argentina, the United States and others also lending assistance. finally arrive a little bit of help . do you think this will be enough? discuss
