Campana, Argentina - May 17, 2025 Evacuations from torrential rain and flooding across Buenos Aires Province total more than 7,500 people, said the provincial government late Saturday night. Floods caused by heavy rains that have been overflowing rivers for three days across the region, with bridges and highways cut off in the wake of intense storms that Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Kicillof attributes to climate change. National and provincial government officials have launched search-and-rescue missions in flooded areas, with emergency shelter sought for those who have fled their homes. The storm, which began Friday, is mainly affecting the northern part of the province, as well as Buenos Aires City and its surrounding metropolitan area, home to some 15 million people.
