25,000 people have been evacuated in Argentina after the worst flooding in fifty years struck South America.

The cause of the flooding was the El Nino weather phenomenon, which brought heavy rain to the area and rose the water levels of the Paraguay, Uruguay and Paranà River's.

The area affected by the flooding is widespread and impacts the region between Argentina, Paraguay Uruguay and Brazil.

In Argentina, two people have been reported killed in the flooding, and it is unclear when those affects may be able to return to their homes. Estimates suggest it may take months for some, as the flood waters have almost entirely submerged some houses and the water has been contaminated by sewer lines.

Among the cities worst affected in Argentina are Concordia, Goya and Paranà, but many others are also affected.
