El Niño phenomenon triggers global emergency responses and health warnings
The El Niño phenomenon has reached 'Very Strong' status, according to the International Center for El Niño Research (CIIFEN), with a peak expected between October and December. This intensification has triggered widespread emergency responses across multiple regions.
In Vietnam, Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Quốc Dũng has ordered proactive water storage to combat potential shortages. In Peru, the Ministry of Economy and Finance is evaluating direct bonuses for families and financial flexibility for productive sectors to mitigate economic impacts. Meanwhile, Colombia's Ministry of Environment has implemented measures to protect aquatic species like manatees and dolphins from drought-induced habitat loss.
Health organizations, including the WHO and WMO, have issued warnings regarding increased risks of infectious diseases, malnutrition, and heat-related illnesses, urging governments to prepare health services. In Argentina, the National Meteorological Service issued a yellow alert for storms and wind in Entre Ríos, while the province of Chaco is coordinating multisectoral emergency protocols. In Paraguay, a heatwave is expected with temperatures potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius.
