Severe droughts gripping Peru have given way to some of the country’s most devastating downpours in decades. 11 of 25 departments have been declared in a state of emergency. The rain continues and there is no relief in sight. Northern Peru is most affected, with needs in WASH and shelter. SDC/HA will provide support during this emergency phase through a local SDC partner.
