Starting at 3:00 a.m. yesterday, the residents of Alfonso Ugarte and General Córdova avenues, in Huari, supported the inhabitants of Alfonso Ugarte and General Córdova avenues, with picks and mops, to prevent the overflow of a rain channel from flooding their properties, however several houses ended up filling with water, deepening the loss in domestic animals and the collapse of rustic material walls.

“My house is made of rustic material and a wall fell. As we are in the hole part, all the water entered my house and several of my guinea pigs and chickens drowned. I took what I was able to rescue to my mother’s house,” said Mirian Cóndor Aire, whose home is located on the 21st block of Alfonso Ugarte Avenue.

Another of those affected is Gilmer Cóndor, based on the corner of Alfonso Ugarte and General Córdova avenues. “The bridge has collapsed and all that water reached the houses, my whole house is flooded because another of the neighbors closed the canal pass,” he said.
