Peru: Only 1/3 of 1,900 critical flood points addressed ahead of El Niño rains

The warning comes ahead of intense rains linked to El Niño, raising the risk of flooding and infrastructure damage. CAPECO urges identification of vulnerable homes and a financing plan for reconstruction, but the timeline and funding remain uncertain.
