This week in Peru
Peru's media this week focused on a range of public safety issues, including violent clashes between Alianza Lima supporters, ongoing murder investigations in Piura and San Juan de Lurigancho, and fatal incidents involving drunk drivers in Trujillo. Urban development also featured prominently, with reports of a Lima neighborhood sinking due to negligence and a major stadium renovation in Piura remaining stalled, contrasting with progress on new infrastructure like the Vía Expresa Grau and a hospital in Huaraz. Additionally, social stories covered adoption challenges, health concerns like anemia in pregnant women, and suspected fraud in health service placements.
