Unusually high waves have been causing destruction along Peru’s northern and central coasts, with footage showing massive waves engulfing boats and crashing into the shore. The Peruvian navy has warned that the waves are expected to continue for another week, leading authorities to close 80 ports and multiple beaches. Despite the impact on coastal communities, no fatalities have been reported. Videos from the affected areas show wreckage on beaches and flooding on nearby streets. The situation is being closely monitored to ensure the safety of residents and prevent further damage.
