Shopkeepers Sit Behind Sandbags On The Sidewalk Of A Flooded Street In Encarnacion On The Border With Argentina

Shopkeepers sit behind sandbags on the sidewalk of a flooded street in Encarnacion on the border with Argentina, November 2, 2009.

Paraguay's government held a meeting on how to handle this flood, that has affected dozens of families living near the Parana River, as well as future ones which they fear will be more frequent due to global warming.
