Peru ombudsman urges Piura municipalities to intensify cleaning against El Niño health risks

Peru's Ombudsman's Office has formally requested the municipalities of Piura, Castilla, and Veintiséis de Octubre to ramp up street cleaning and waste collection to mitigate disease risks associated with the El Niño phenomenon. The request targets the Historic Center of Piura, where accumulated dust and debris could become infectious foci. This is a preventive public-health measure ahead of potential El Niño-related flooding, though the immediate impact is localized.
