An avalanche of stones killed 15 people in Peru

Fire brigades, policemen and villagers worked Sunday to rescue people who are still trapped in the rubble. "At the Alhambra hotel, where the wedding was celebrated, 13 people were found dead and two people died at the hospital," Chávez added.

According to Indeci, the hotel's wall has collapsed due to the collapse of a dike adjacent to the building, built to prevent the fall of rocks or landslides in the area. The enclosure was built very close to a slope.

Chávez explained that the collapse of this wall had dropped the ceiling, affecting guests to the party.

The Indeci, who took charge of the situation, asked relatives of affected people to go to the corresponding health centers to identify their relatives. The government center for emergency operations reported that between January and March, the risk of floods and landslides was high in the Peruvian Andean regions.

In March of last year, five family members died while they dined in an avalanche of stones and mud that fell on their house, located on a hillside in the northern region of La Libertad, announced the Indeci.
