Overview

  • Local reports say a blaze in San Juan de Miraflores destroyed more than 100 homes and displaced hundreds of people.
  • Residents say unknown groups are trying to occupy cleared plots, prompting neighbors to guard their spaces through the night.
  • Many families are rejecting temporary relocation offers because they fear losing possession of land they have occupied for over a decade.
  • Several creators who delivered aid reported theft attempts during distributions, including Piero Arenas on Kick and TikToker Mocca, who says she will stop going in person.
