Personal Report of Peru Quake from Dr. Kristen Neiling in Argentina
Mitch Battros
Situation is getting worst---Over 1,000 dead; people are in the streets destroying entire cities looking for food, more tourists missing. Aftershocks are intensifying and people are terrified.
According to sources, the city of Pisco is being reported as completely destroyed. Homes do not exist; bodies are all over the place and no hope to find people alive. Still not able to get to remote locations.
All prisoners, estimated to be around 300 from the Pisco jail, escaped when one entire wall fell and left the prison open.
Huge fractures in the Earth's crust are visible throughout the locations. Electric wires are hanging all over the cities blocking the main highways south of Lima to the Andes mountains. No access is possible.
Pope Benedict XVI is asking all countries in the western world for help to assist Peru in this tragedy.
International Red Cross and the Crescent Moon, have sent airplanes, tents, plastic covers, blankets, and water.
