Peru : Death Toll and Injuries from Quake Rise, so Does Help

The death toll from the 8.0 magnitude earthquake in Peru continues to rise and is now is placed officially around 510 , although many speculate the number could rise. Most of the dead, around 300, come from the area of Pisco, which according to the mayor of that city, is 70 percent destroyed.

Peruvian and other organizations across the United States are offering ways to aid the Peruvian people. The Peruvian Consulate in Los Angeles has set up a bank account for relief donations (Bank of America # 2260 00 2496 03).

In New York City the Mexican organization Tepeyac ( 212 633-7108) is accepting donations for Peru.
