A severe drought is affecting several cities, leaving many without access to water. Carmen Amador, a resident, reports receiving water only every 20 days at her home. She and her neighbors have resorted to storing water in containers, using minimal amounts for washing, and reusing water for flushing toilets.

The drought is part of the consequences of "El Niño" in the region. Governments and experts had warned of its potential impact in recent weeks.

Further details on the effects of "El Niño" are available from the source, providing more insight into the situation.
