4 Missing, Thousands Evacuated as Floods Sweep Argentina

Israa Farhan Severe flooding across parts of Argentina has left four people missing and forced the evacuation of thousands, following three days of relentless rainfall that submerged entire communities. According to the National Emergency Agency, at least 3,700 people were evacuated from their homes in the Buenos Aires region alone. While no fatalities have been officially reported, authorities remain concerned about the ongoing risk to life and infrastructure as floodwaters continue to rise. Local Security Minister Javier Alonso confirmed the extensive damage, noting that entire areas were inundated, with emergency teams working around the clock to assist affected families. Heavy rains have overwhelmed drainage systems, causing roads and farmlands to disappear beneath the water. Several school buses were caught in the flooding, according to local outlet Infobae. In a dramatic rescue, helicopters were deployed to save 37 children and four teachers who were stranded for nearly 20 hours after being surrounded by rising floodwaters. National television channel TN reported similar scenes of emergency rescues, as helicopters and boats were dispatched to hard-hit rural areas. Authorities have urged residents in vulnerable zones to evacuate early and remain alert to further rainfall warnings issued by meteorological services. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
