Paraguay:

Floods leave Paraguay losses, thousands homeless

Paraguayan military on Friday evacuated hundreds of families affected by floods in the inhospitable region of Chaco, one of the worst natural disasters in recent years that will leave millions in losses for cattle and the dairy industry.

A heavy rains that occur two weeks ago joined the construction of dams on private farms that prevented the removal of water, and that members of the Armed Forces began to blow in compliance with a court order.

The National Emergency Secretariat (SEN) said six people died from lack of medical care, including a baby of three months. The agency evacuated thousands of families who were stranded without food, drinking water and basic services.

"So far there are 11,000 affected families across the Chaco, flooded or isolated. Many of these communities are indigenous (...) yesterday rescued a couple of old people that was on the roof of his house," said the head of the SEN Gladys Cardozo, quoted by ABC Digital.

Congress declared an emergency in the three departments of Chaco, occupying the western region of the country called, and released funds to carry out the rescue. The government mobilized hundreds of officers and soldiers.

The Health Ministry launched an epidemiological alert for the possibility of occurrence of cases of cholera and other diseases associated with unsafe water and inadequate waste treatment.

"There may be a significant increase in infectious diseases in flooded areas the next few weeks," said Deputy Health Minister, Raquel Escobar.

ECONOMIC INJURY

Coexist in the large cattle ranches, dairies and impoverished communities. The producers considered significant losses in a year that it was difficult for livestock by an outbreak of FMD months ago.

"In the worst case we expect to lose 25,000 head of cattle. Is a difficult time," he told Reuters the vice president of the Rural Association of Paraguay, Eusebio Cardozo.

Paraguay has about 12 million head of cattle on its territory and recorded before the outbreak of FMD was among the 10 largest exporters of beef. Foreign sales of the product fell by nearly 30 percent in the first quarter.

Another hit is the dairy sector, with production mainly supplies the local market. President of the Federation of Production Cooperatives (FECOPROD), Gustav Sawatzky, said industries are working to 40 percent capacity by the floods.

"Between 90,000 and 100,000 liters of milk are spoiling a day, because you can not collect. And you are 12 days of this situation, so they are more than a million liters of milk lost," said Sawatzky.
