Severe Flooding Devastates Bahía Blanca, Argentina

At least 12 people have died, thousands displaced, and critical infrastructure overwhelmed after unprecedented rainfall submerged much of the city.

Bahía Blanca experienced 210 millimeters of rain in 24 hours, equivalent to one-third of the city's annual rainfall, causing widespread flooding.
At least 12 fatalities have been confirmed, with seven victims identified and reports of missing individuals still unverified due to communication disruptions.
Over 1,200 residents have been evacuated, and entire neighborhoods remain submerged despite some water levels receding.
Key infrastructure, including hospitals, public transport, and the airport, has been severely impacted, with evacuations and closures implemented across the city.
The Argentine government has deployed emergency responders and allocated 10 billion pesos (approximately 8.6 million euros) to aid recovery efforts.
