- During the second week of July, WFP delivered CBT (2,621 USD) to 46 families from 5 municipalities in the departments of Beni and Pando. These families could not access the initial distributions due to transportation and communication disruptions caused by the floods. The assistance alleviated the effects of climate events thanks to the resources provided by the Immediate Response Account (IRA).
