NICARAGUA-DROUGHT-LOSSES
A farmer in Villanueva, Nicaragua plows his field with his two oxen in the last planting of the season, 29 July 2001, after yielding nothing from the first seeding due to severe droughts that have affected the country. Villanueva, 192 km northwest of Managua, is one of 40 municipalities affected by a drought throughout Central America and is threatened with widespread hunger if this second planting is fruitless. The United Nations World Food Program has a registry of 470,000 people hit by drought in Nicaragua.ACOMPANA NOTA: "VICTIMAS DE LA SEQUIA EN NICARAGUA SE EMPENAN EN SACARLE ALGO A LA TIERRA", POR JULIA RIOS Un campesino de Villanueva, Nicaragua, ara su parcela de tierra con un par de bueyes, el 29 de julio del 2001, preparando el suelo para la cosecha de "postrera" (segunda cosecha anual) luego de que la priimera cosecha no germinara debido a la intensa sequia que afecta el pais.
