Report shows climate change could displace families in Peru’s Amazonas

A report by Save the Children has shown that more families in Peru’s Amazonas region are at risk of being displaced for a third time in six months as climate change intensifies the impact of disasters, leaving children without quality education or security about their future.

Save the Children was established in the United Kingdom in 1919 to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts.
According to the report, parts of the Amazonas region have faced two devastating earthquakes and extreme rainfall, which triggered a series of landslides and severe flooding, affecting more than 10,000 people since November 2021.

The organization said that families initially displaced by a powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake on 28 November were made homeless for a second time when their temporary shelters were destroyed or washed away by floods and torrential rainfall earlier this year.

It maintained that heavy rains in the region will continue throughout May, putting families at risk of displacement yet again.

One of those who were displaced by the multiple disasters in the region and is now acting as a protection agent with Save the Children to ensure children’s rights are upheld in her community, Christiana said that she has noticed the climate changing over the years.

“Formally, the rain wasn’t that hard but now it is intense and the winds are strong, and it is even hotter here than before,” she said.
