Yesterday at 6 am in Peru there was an earthquake with an intensity of 7.2 on the Richter scale. 500 people died and more than 5000 are missing. Most of the victims have lost their houses which were destroyed by the devastating earthquake. There is also a shortage of food. Therefore, groups of and NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) have tried to arrive at the scene where the earthquake took place but they haven't been able, because the roads are blocked by trees and rocks that fell after the earthquake. Humanitarian help is arriving slowly to the place where thousands of people are trying to survive under harsh conditions.
