Heavy rains battering Peru since last December have left at least 56 people dead and more than 4,000 affected as of yesterday, according to the National Institute of Civil Defense (Indeci). The intense precipitation has caused flooding, landslides, thunderstorms, and rivers to overflow in various regions of the Andean and Amazonian country, where the vulnerability of rural and peri-urban communities has been laid bare by the sheer volume of water and mud.
