Peru: Death Toll from Worst Flooding in Decades Rises to 90
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Peru, the death toll from the country's worst flooding in more than
30 years is rising. At least 90 people have now died. The flooding
caused by torrential downpours linked to climate change has also
destroyed tens of thousands of houses and displaced more than 100,000
people. The floods have also destroyed thousands of roads, bridges and
highways across Peru, paralyzing commerce and making it harder to
transport aid to affected regions.
