Peru Minister Denies El Niño Food and Water Shortages in Lima

Peru's Minister of Agrarian Development and Irrigation, Marco Vinelli, publicly denied that El Niño has caused food shortages in Lima or that water cuts are imminent, referencing the 2017 crisis. This is a reassurance statement amid ongoing El Niño conditions, but the denial itself signals potential public concern and supply-chain stress. The claim is unverified beyond the minister's assertion, and the actual impact on food and water availability remains uncertain.
