Arequipa region is facing a crisis as landslides have blocked the Panamericana Sur highway for six days, halting traffic between Atico and Ocoña. Travelers are reporting a complete lack of assistance and are increasingly concerned about dwindling fuel supplies. The road closure is impacting the transport of essential goods, including gasoline and GLP (liquefied petroleum gas). Transport workers express growing alarm over the potential for widespread shortages across the southern part of the country. Authorities have yet to fully address the situation, leaving many stranded and raising questions about emergency preparedness. The ongoing landslides pose a significant challenge to restoring transportation links and preventing a wider economic impact. Concerns are mounting that the situation will worsen if the highway isn’t reopened soon.
