Bolivia is facing its biggest political crisis in years as protests and road blockades spread across the country. President Rodrigo Paz, who took office just six months ago, is now under heavy pressure after weeks of unrest tied to inflation, fuel shortages, and economic reforms.
Markets in La Paz have started running low on food and medical supplies. Hospitals also reported dangerous shortages of oxygen after blocked roads slowed emergency deliveries. At least three people reportedly died when ambulances could not reach medical centers in time.
Workers, miners, farmers, and teachers have all joined demonstrations. Many are demanding higher wages, lower fuel prices, and stronger government action to ease the economic crisis. Business groups say the protests are costing Bolivia more than $50 million per day and leaving thousands of vehicles stranded on highways.
