Residents of the town of Huarmey, 300 kilometers north of Lima, battered by floods in the last weeks, wade through muddy water after receiving bags with food from soldiers on March 24, 2017.
The El Nino climate phenomenon is causing muddy flash floods and rivers to overflow along the entire Peruvian coast, isolating communities and neighbourhoods. Most cities face water shortages as water lines have been compromised by mud and debris. / AFP PHOTO / CRIS BOURONCLE
