Even though floodwaters have receded, recovery continues in Peru.
Heavy rains that spanned several months overwhelmed infrastructure in many areas, and flash floods killed more than 150 people in the country. More than 150,000 people were displaced from their homes, and the country is starting to rebuild in what may be a years-long effort.
Even as the headlines have ceased, VIDA and vital partner Direct Relief continue to send emergency aid, with $5.5 million in supplies provided to clinics throughout the country - administering medical care to people in Peru.
As Direct Relief’s primary partner in Peru we continue with emergency medical response in coordination with Peru’s Ministry of Health.
In Lima - water was turned off for several days due to the flood damage.
Your support of our aid shipments are critical and effective. We look forward to your continuing support
Gracias
