Peruvia

Click here for resources on how and where to send aid in response to the August 15 earthquake.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs released their 'Earthquake OCHA Situation Report No. 9'. Most British and American newspapers have left the story though the Los Angeles Times' Patrick McDonnell continues to report in situ. Reports of private and public relief efforts continue fairly strongly.

Chile returns to the news both in the context of bilateral relations and the court verdict on Fujimori. And finally, Beverage World reports on '7.9', the limited run of a special pisco (up to 1,000 bottles) designed by the Association of Pisco Producers.
