The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Marn) warned, on Monday, that due to the constant rains and the amount of water accumulated in the soils, all the rivers of El Salvador have a “very high probability of overflows.”
“The observatory reports that all the rivers in our country have a chance of overflowing due to the accumulation of water in the ground and high levels,” the Marn wrote in his account of X.
The institution emphasized on making the call not to cross rivers, ravines or lakes, because the rebounds of the currents can cause people to drag and cause them to die.
El Marn also indicated that due to the heavy rains and humidity in the soils there is a high probability of urban flooding, overflows of ravines and flooding.
El Salvador has been hit by constant stormy rains since Friday, but which intensified on Saturday. These climatic conditions, according to the Environment, continue to be associated with the depressive camp in the northwest of Central America, with the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ZCI), which are bringing moisture to the country.

Nicaragua released 135 political prisoners for humanitarian reasons, who were received by Guatemala on Thursday, thanks to U.S. mediation, which will allow them to travel to that country or others.
At La Aurora Airport in Guatemala City, the former detainees celebrated their freedom. “Thank God for being free, long live a free Nicaragua,” declared Francisco Arteaga to reporters, raising his fist in the air.
Arteaga had been detained for posting “on social media the actions” of President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, against the Catholic Church, he told reporters from the window of a bus taking him to a reception center. According to the Guatemalan presidency, the group arrived yesterday on “a special flight that landed at 06:20 a.m.” (12:20 GMT).
The White House announced shortly before that it had secured the release of these prisoners, including 13 members of the Texas-based evangelical organization Mountain Gateway, Catholic laypeople, students, and others whom Ortega and Murillo “consider a threat to their authoritarian regime.”
The release was carried out for humanitarian reasons, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement, just two months before the U.S. presidential elections. Eric Jacobstein from the State Department, who was involved in the negotiations, indicated that the Nicaraguan regime did not receive anything in return.

Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino announced on Thursday a nighttime curfew for minors in the Caribbean province of Bocas del Toro, a popular tourist area, in an effort to combat gangs that “work for the Gulf Cartel or the Tren de Aragua.”
“The crime rate in Bocas del Toro is extremely high. It is one of the provinces leading in criminal activity, murders, and drug trafficking,” Mulino said at his weekly press conference.
Mulino stated that next week he will request local authorities in Bocas del Toro, a province on the border with Costa Rica, to implement a nighttime curfew for minors.
This measure is in addition to the recently imposed curfews for minors in the Caribbean province of Colón and the populous district of San Miguelito, adjacent to the capital.
Bocas del Toro, located more than 550 kilometers by road from Panama City, is made up of paradise islands and mainland areas, attracting many foreign tourists.
