Mendoza floods: El Niño triggers evacuations, river overflows after drought

El Niño-driven heavy rains in Brazil have necessitated dam releases, causing significant flooding of the Paraná and Uruguay Rivers in Argentina. This has led to widespread evacuations, infrastructure disruptions including bridge closures isolating multiple cities, and agricultural impacts across Corrientes, Chaco, Misiones, Entre Ríos, and Mendoza provinces. The situation is confirmed to be developing, with water levels still rising in key areas.
