EVOLUTION OF THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION Floods situation update Access to affected communities has improved but there some areas that remain isolated due to flooded roads. Cold waves have impacted El Chaco region worsening the current situation of flood-affected population. OCHA and UNDAC missions have recommended an immediate response to urgent needs.

On a first response 16,000 families have been assisted with food aid, however, the government estimates that at least 10,000 families are still in need of a longer humanitarian assistance due to the loss of livelihoods. SEN/ WFP committed following with food assistance to the disaster-affected families up to September/October 2012, and calls humanitarian organizations working in the area to complement its intervention and the local gaps in terms of livelihoods and food security recovery. FAO estimates that there is the need of food assistance until January 2013 when the harvest season will start. 2.

The main objective is to reactivate the subsistence food production for November and December.

Colombia: More probabilities of precipitation above normal levels in the central and southern Pacific and Andean regions. More probabilities of precipitation above below normal levels in the Caribbean region. Ecuador: More probabilities of precipitation below normal levels in most of the country. Peru: More probabilities of precipitation near normal levels in most of the country. Bolivia: More probabilities of precipitation below normal levels in most of the country.

El Niño is characterized by warm ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial of the Pacific and it is also associated to droughts in Australia, Indonesia and the northeast of South America and heavy rains in Ecuador and Peru. Chile: More probabilities of precipitations above normal levels in the central -southern regions of the country. More probabilities of precipitation near normal levels in the Northern, Central and Austral regions. Argentina: More probabilities of precipitation above normal levels in the regions of Cuyo, Central, Buenos Aires and south-east of Patagonia.
