Flood: Argentina declares national mourning as death toll hits 16

Argentina, late Sunday, announced three days of national mourning after authorities raised the death toll from recent flash flooding to 16, with more still missing.

The deadly floods reportedly struck Friday when a year’s worth of rain fell in a matter of hours in and around Bahia Blanca, a major port city located in the south of Buenos Aires province, with entire neighborhoods inundated by the fast-rising waters.

The country has been particularly shaken by tragic reports of two girls, aged one and five, being swept away in the torrent.

Divers were continuing to search the area, where more than a meter of water remained, Alonso told the Radio Mitre outlet.

According to Bahia Blanca Mayor Federico Susbielles in a press conference, the flooding had caused $400 million in infrastructure damage.

Susbielles later in a post on X, said there were 16 confirmed deaths, stating that there were likely to be more as search efforts continue.

The government has authorized emergency reconstruction aid of 10 billion pesos ($9.2 million at the official exchange rate).

Meanwhile, Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi offered his condolences on Instagram to the victims’ families

“Much strength to all those who are having a rough time in this difficult moment,” he wrote.

Bahia Blanca is said to have suffered past weather-related disasters, including a storm in December 2023 that claimed 13 lives.

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts

Published

on

 

A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.

In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.

According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.

In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.

She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.

While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
