Lima Province in Peru is once again being battered by mudslides and fatal floods.
Heavy rains have afflicted Peru’s mostly desert climate this year, killing dozens and destroying 12,000 homes.
Authorities say that troops have been deployed to the worst affected areas and helicopters are at work rescuing those trapped by the waters.
Those that survived have lost what belongings they own:”
“Everything, everything unusable, the furniture. There’s no bed, nothing inside. Everything is filled with water. There’s no place for the water to go,” declared one victim.
