El Salvador and Panama declare emergencies due to El Niño
Panama, the seventh country in Central America to do so, has declared a state of emergency due to the El Niño phenomenon, which has led to a severe drought reducing navigation through the Panama Canal and destroying crops. The phenomenon causes rising temperatures and decreased rainfall, threatening to trigger famines in the region. El Salvador has also declared a state of maximum alert to monitor the situation and provide aid, given the impacts of the phenomenon on agriculture and water resources. El Niño is a natural phenomenon that recurs every 2 to 7 years, causing widespread climate changes that affect the region, with forecasts of significant damage to agricultural production in Central America and the Pacific.
