Children play in the water in the outskirts of flooded Trinidad some 500 km (310 miles) northeast of La Paz, February 15, 2008. Floods have forced thousands of people from their homes and killed at least 51 people nationwide since November, destroying crops and roadways as well. The unusually heavy rains are being blamed on the La Nina weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean. REUTERS/David Mercado (BOLIVIA)
