چکیده
In April 2007, an Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) assessment mission estimated that more than 400,000 hectares of cultivated area had been damaged or lost affecting the food security of thousands of subsistence farmers. Thousands of rural communities that lost all their crops did not have sufficient seeds for the next sowing season. A CEPAL mission calculated that total losses were 450 million dollars and resulted in a fall of one point in the growth of the GIP. Another 140,000 cows died because of the floods, lack of food and sanitary problems.

Background: In all wars, the only group that suffers even more than the military is the civilians, because they are the target of these conflicts due to their physiological condition, and because they are less able to defend themselves, they are more at risk than others.
