Torrential rains have caused severe flooding in the central Peruvian province of Huanuco, leaving at least 100 people homeless.
Hours of heavy rains on Sunday caused a number of rivers in the region to burst their banks, with local residents having to wade through fast flowing waters to navigate nearby towns.
The rains also destroyed more than 1,200 hectares (2965 acres) of crops and caused landslides, blocking roads with dirt and debris.
Authorities have said they will send aid to the affected area.
No injuries have been reported.
