AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoBolivia Health Crisis: Bolivia’s President Rodrigo Paz declared a 90-day state of emergency to break 50 days of anti-government road blockades that have choked fuel, food, and medicines—leaving hospitals short of oxygen and patients unable to reach care; authorities and the ombudsman link at least 17 deaths to disrupted medical access, with at least seven deaths attributed to delayed treatment. Public Safety & Rights: The crackdown includes expanded military powers to clear roads, with reports of violent clashes, at least 365 arrests, and 37 injuries. Signs of Easing: On Sunday, Bolivia’s Legislative Assembly approved the decree and officials reported no active protest blockades nationwide, while Santa Cruz leaders agreed to lift a key blockade in San Julián and a La Paz campesino federation announced a pause in protests. Health System Impact: The crisis highlights how transport disruptions can quickly turn supply shortages into preventable deaths, especially for emergency and oxygen-dependent patients.
