UN aid agencies launch appeal for drought-stricken Bolivia

(New York: 16 November 2004) - United Nations humanitarian agencies are appealing for some US$ 1.8 million for programs to bring emergency aid to 180,000 people in Bolivia's drought-stricken El Chaco region over the next seven months.
A prolonged drought is severely threatening the food security, health and nutritional status of children and adults in the Bolivia's southeastern El Chaco region. The acute nature of this year's drought compounds the effects of years of drought in the region and put the region at risk of a major humanitarian crisis.
