As of mid-June 2026, Bolivia is experiencing a sharp deterioration of humanitarian conditions linked to prolonged road blockades and social unrest, which have severely disrupted access to essential goods, health supplies, food, fuel and basic services, particularly in La Paz.
The situation is affecting families whose daily means of subsistence have been severely impacted by the recent weeks of conflict, increasing risks related to food insecurity, acute malnutrition and disease. In response, the Iglesia Evangélica Luterana Boliviana (IELB) has issued an Alert to inform members of the unfolding situation and the urgent humanitarian needs identified.
