"Deep cracks opened across the hamlet of Eladio Tapullima in Peru's San Martin region over 48 hours, damaging more than 110 homes and affecting 400 people. Footage filmed on Friday and Saturday shows large cracks splitting the ground and homes damaged by the incident, as families move to safer areas, leaving belongings behind. "It is a terror for the entire population of that hamlet in San Martin. Well, it is not easy to accept it, but what can we do? Fight. And God will restore hearts, especially those that are completely devastated by the loss of material things," said the resident. The emergency, which was reported on Friday, has prompted residents in nearby areas to collect food supplies for the worst-affected communities, alongside relief efforts by the regional government of San Martin. "The hamlet of Eladio Tapullima is going through a critical moment because of the geological fault affecting the community. In response, residents of El Dorado have felt compelled to come together and donate food supplies through the educational institution," said Segundo Saurin, President of the Parents Association. Following the emergency, authorities set up three temporary shelters for displaced residents and delivered five tonnes of humanitarian aid, including tents, mattresses, folding beds and blankets."
