Homes in rural Peru were washed away on Friday (March 29) after the Perene River burst its banks. More than 13,000 people have been affected by floods, and at least 51 have died this wet season. Authorities mobilized rescue teams to evacuate residents and rescue animals. Lima has also declared a state of emergency in Chanchamayo and surrounding areas.
