Peru imposed one of the earliest, strictest and longest lockdowns in Latin America to stop the spread of COVID-19. The county's borders were shut, curfews were imposed, and people could only leave their homes to buy essential goods only. Despite this, the rate of infections continued to rise, and Peru now has the fifth highest number of cases worldwide despite having a population of only 30 million, with poverty and crowded food markets blamed for fuelling the spread of the virus.The lockdown in Peru officially ended on 30th June, but for those under 14 and over 65 the lockdown continues at least until 31st July. However, the schools remain closed, health facilities are overrun, and hundreds of thousands of people have no food or livelihoods anymore. Hunger and poverty have gripped the nation and people are using white flags to appeal for help.
