Local residents of the town of Huarmey, 300 kilometres north of Lima, wade through muddy water in the street on March 19, 2017 after a flash flood hit the evening before. The El Nino climate phenomenon is causing muddy rivers to overflow along the entire Peruvian coast, isolating communities and neighbourhoods. Thousands have been affected since January, and 72 people have died. Most cities face water shortages as water lines have been compromised by mud and debris. / AFP/RSS PHOTO / CRIS BOURONCLE
