Devastation in Peru's Andes: A Region Still Reeling from Frequent Quakes The latest earthquake to strike Peru's Andes region has left at least six dead and over 30 injured.
This disaster is just another reminder of the region's vulnerability to natural disasters, which have ravaged the area repeatedly.
Rustic adobe materials used in construction have undoubtedly contributed to the severity of the damage, according to Luis Vásquez, head of the local civil defence office.
