Dear Tumblr Friends: Please Help My Country

Official Note from Peruvian Red Cross:   Many cities in Peru have been devasted by heavy rains and flooding. Thousands of communities, schools, roads, bridges, and land crops have been destroyed. The Peruvian Red Cross continues to work very hard by providing emergency medical attendance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction services.You can contribute to this effort by donating to the Red Cross in order to support our emergency crew, and give hope to the victims. Your contribution will be very much appreciated. United in brotherhood for Perú! Dear Tumblr Friends,

Please. If you can donate anything helps. People in my home country have lost their homes due to the floods. Bridges that connect communities to main roads which allow for business, for food to come in have collapsed. There are people who now have nothing. Crops, people’s livelihoods, a lot of it is gone.You are reading this and Peru might seem like a far away place to you, from your computer screen, but right now there are people who have now lost everything. If you can’t afford to donate anything then reblog. Spread the word. Anything you can give makes a difference. Please donate. Please help my country. Here’s the Donation Link: http://bit.ly/2nDsxwl And a few articles about what is happening from the main Peruvian Nespaper (In Spanish) Huaico In Trujillo Reaches the Center of the City: http://elcomercio.pe/sociedad/la-libertad/trujillo-nuevo-huaico-llega-hasta-centro-ciudad-noticia-1977132?ref=flujo_tags_514101&ft=nota_8&e=titulo

Announcement (the sequel)

Hi hi ^^

So some of you may have read that post I made a while ago about the worrying situation in my country. Y’know, the long one.

I’m here for a little update about the events, so if you have a little bit of time and you want to know, then please keep reading.

Also, thanks for all the support ♥

If I remember correctly, I mentioned that the Government was cancelling classes last Thursday and Friday. Ok, so aparently they’re also cancelling them this Monday and Tuesday, but only in the capital.

Not only that, but since so many roads are closed because of the overflow of the rivers and the huaycos, many products are not reaching Lima, and therefore not reaching most of the factories or principal markets.

For example: We’re pretty much out of milk and lemons. And because so few lemons reach the city, supermarkets are charging around S/. 20 per kg (which would be roughly around 6.04 USD per 2.2 pounds of lemons). The usual price used to be S/. 4 per kg in supermarkets (around 1.208 USD).

I’m actually pretty lucky I live in the outskirts of the city, and in that area my family doesn’t buy from supermarkets but from local markets.  So we now have a kg of lemons for S/. 6 (around 1.812 USD), which is indeed way cheaper than in the city but still more expensive than what it used to be (S/. 2 per kg or around 0.604 USD). But enough about lemons.

I also mentioned water distribuition was being cut in 27 districts. So now people are making long queues with their bottles and barrels to get as much water as they can. The aisles of bottled water in the supermarket are just plain empty. And some people are taking water from the fountains in the parks so they can at least have non-drinkable water to use.

Yesterday, my family and I went to the city to visit our uncle, and by the night we went out to an ice cream shop he knew and said it was really good. But it was closed due to the lack of water. And it wasn’t the only one either, you could walk down the street and 7 out of 10 food places would be closed with little notes on the doors saying they were out of water.

Only certain places can still be open and have distribuition of water ‘cause they can afford to pay for water trucks to come and fill their cisterns. Action which, by the way, has pretty much quadrupled in price.

On another note, the army is now going on the few helicopters we have to try and rescue the people affected by the rivers and huaycos. Which haven’t stopped, by the way.

I think I’ll update again if something else happens, but as for now that’s the situation we’re in. If any of you want to know, my family and I are fine.

Thanks for taking your time to read that ^^;

Lima colapsó. Huaycos, clima jodido, pistas destrozadas, puentes que se caen, y mi ex sigue con vida conchasumadre.

Perú en emergencia nacional

19/03/2017 

El gobierno ha tomado medidas positivas, pero insuficientes. Se necesita usar de inmediato parte de las reservas fiscales y olvidarse de la meta de 2.5% de déficit para este año. 

El desastre se ha generalizado y estamos en una emergencia nacional. Desde aquí expresamos nuestra solidaridad con las víctimas y afectados. 

Las causas se podrán discutir. Desde…

Trujillo quedó aislado, colapsó el puente Virú

Trujillo quedó aislado, colapsó el puente Virú

Trujillo se quedó aislado por huaicos y desbordes de ríos o lluvias intensas.

Diario Uno, 19/03/2017.- La ciudad de Trujillo quedó aislada anoche con el colapso del Puente Virú, a 50 kilómetros al sur de Trujillo, por el embate de las aguas. Con la caída del puente, se cortó el tránsito entre Lima y la capital liberteña.

Fuentes periodísticas de Trujillo indicaron que, al colapsar la estructura,…
