While it’s been about two weeks since a grade 8 earthquake hit Peru but yesterday Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross announced that parts of the country look like the earthquake just happened because aid isn’t reaching them.
Aunque el auxilio ha llegado a Pisco, e Ica, ciudades arrasadas por el sismo de 8 grados del 15 de agosto, Médicos Sin Fronteras envió el martes un comunicado a la AP en el que alertó que “decenas” de pequeños poblados se mantenían aislados y sin ayuda de ningún tipo, y sus residentes se encontraban durmiendo a la intemperie, apenas con agua o apenas comiendo algo.
After the earthquake, Alan Garcia = Rudy Giuliani?

The real fabric of a leader is said to be found in the moments of massive crisis. Peru’s president, Alan Garcia, has apparently shined in a moment of great difficulty — or at least that’s how some in the Latin American media are presenting it — with a hands-on approach to the recent devastating earthquake his country suffered.
García traveled quickly to Pisco after the earthquake on August 15th, and remained in the streets until after midnight, assigning tasks to the ministers of his government, supervising the distribution of water and food, and coordinating refuge for thousands of victims.He met with foreign rescue teams and thanked them for their help. He urged survivors to be patient and reassured them: “No one is going to die of thirst and no one is going to die of hunger.” He witnessed the birth of a baby in a tent hospital and proclaimed: “This is a message of hope in the middle of death and pain.”
