South America is facing a major drought, with Ecuador experiencing its worst in 60 years, leading to severe water shortages and power outages.
Hydroelectric plants, which provide most of Ecuador's electricity, are struggling due to low water levels, forcing the government to implement power cuts.
The drought is also fueling wildfires in several countries, including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia, threatening ecosystems and livelihoods.
Climate change is believed to be a major factor in the severity of the drought, highlighting the need for urgent action to address this global challenge.
