The Amazon Region is currently facing one of the worst droughts in its history. This is due to extreme weather events caused by warming waters in the Pacific and North Atlantic oceans, leading to a significant decrease in rainfall. As a result, the region's rivers are reaching record-low levels. About 200,000 people are at risk of losing their livelihoods, and over half a million people could face isolation and supply shortages in communities accessible only by rivers, some of which have already dried up. Yan Boechat is reporting on the situation for VOA.
