Peru Rebuilds Health Services Affected by the 2007 Earthquake

PAHO/WHO, with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECID) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), are supporting Peru's Ministry of Health and regional authorities with the health needs resulting from the earthquake of 15 August 2007 in Ica.

The project encompasses the construction of a maternal and child center in Pisco; recovery of services in the primary health network of Ica and Huancavelica; strengthening technical capacity

Each week, the World Health Organization Health Action in Crises in Geneva produces information highlights
on critical health-related activities in countries where there are humanitarian crises. Drawing on the various WHO programmes, contributions cover activities from field and country offices and the support provided by WHO regional offices and headquarters. The mandate of the WHO departments specifically concerned with Emergency and Humanitarian Action in Crises is to increase the effectiveness of the WHO contribution to crisis preparedness and response, transition and recovery.

(La Paz/New York, 25 February 2008): The United Nations appealed on Friday, 22 February, on behalf of the Government of Bolivia for more than $18.2 million in order to provide critical humanitarian assistance to people affected by floods and landslides.

Heavy rains, which have continued to batter all parts of the country since November 2007, prompted floods, mudslides and landslides that have claimed 52 lives and left nearly 60,000 families,

Plan is providing emergency aid to help victims of heavy flooding in Bolivia which has already affected more than 60,000 families.

Caused by the 'La Nina' climate phenomenon, the floods have so far caused the deaths of 52 people, damaged hundreds of houses and destroyed more than 600,000 hectares of crops.

Hundreds of people who have been rescued and taken to camps are now suffering from waterbourne diseases and acute diarrhoea.

Mass evacuations

Plan does not work in the worst affected area of Beni - but supports communities in Santa Cruz, which is also badly affected.

Severe floods have driven thousands of people from their homes in Bolivia, and killed at least 51 people nationwide since November.

It is the third year in a row that the country has been hit by heavy rains, but the flooding this year is far worse than last, causing widespread damage in all of the country's nine departments. Flooding and landslides have blocked many of the main roads, cutting off communities. The La Nina weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean is being blamed for the rains, which are expected to continue through

Plan has released US$20,000 to help victims of intense flooding in Bolivia which has already affected more than 60,000 families.

Caused by the 'La Nina' climate phenomenon, the floods have damaged 469 homes, destroyed 108 and flooded over 59,000 acres of crops.

In Plan areas 2,500 families are at risk of further flooding and, so far, no deaths have been reported in our communities. However, outside Plan areas 60 people have died.

The rain is expected to continue through to March with river levels estimated to rise three feet above last year's recorded level.
