Argentina battles fires in Paraná Delta

Firefighters continued to combat fires in the wetlands of the Paraná River Delta, destroying habitats in an area close to 200 square miles.

Residents of Rosario, the largest city affected by the fires, turned to social media to post images and express their dismay over the smoke that was directed at urban areas.
