A boy looks from his home during floods in Bocas de San Antonio, Bolivar province in Colombia, October 31, 2007. Residents in Colombia’s Bolivar province near the Caribbean coast struggle with flooding that has left the population of Bocas de San Antonio living for six months with water inside their homes after the local river overflowed its banks. Flood waters have swept away livestock and crops, leaving local residents struggling in poverty and with little assistance from authorities. Picture taken October 31, 2007.
