Reported more cases of poisoning in Cuzco as a result of liquid gas spill
A total of 106 residents of the native Machiguenga community Camana Echarati in the district, province of La Convenci?n, Cusco, presented in the last weeks with symptoms of breakdown in his health, he would have had to source food consumption contaminated as a result of the spill of liquid gas in its rivers.
Local authorities claim that this problem stems from the reported gas spill on March 12, whose responsibility lies with the company Transportadora de Gas del Peru (TGP).
Community leaders also blamed TGP of death by poisoning of seven children.
On this latter fact, in recent weeks, the Deputy Health Minister Percy Minaya, said the death of children was due to an outbreak of human rabies caused by bites of wild bats.
For community leaders and Congressman Eduardo Nayap this version is not credible.
At the request of these, created a working group that is part of the Health and Population Committee of Congress, which is scheduled to go to the east on June 8.
Lack of adequate medical care
Agusto Mavite Ruben, head of the Machiguenga community of Camana, home to about seven hundred people, said recently that it has identified 106 people with symptoms such as fever, dizziness, cramps and diarrhea.
He said that none of these people, among which include children, are currently receiving some form of health care in the community what they are given treatment with medicines prepared in the same area.
He said that so far the health sector has not conducted a comprehensive plan that addresses their illness.
Binari Ruben, president of the Rio Urubamba Machiguenga (Comaru) stated that he could check the amount of community with these symptoms.
He considered it quite possible that the massive infection comes from contact with river water Parotori, Poyentimari Yotsiva and where they bathe and get their food.
Fleeting visit of authority
Mavite Ruben said the mayor of the Convention, Fedya Castro visited the community on May 22 but only stayed for about twenty minutes and then retired without having more contact with the population.
In this visit, the mayor did not mention the possible contamination from the spill of liquid gas. It was more like a visit to distribute mosquito nets, blankets, food and a few people.
Otherwise directed by the Health Network
Olivares Constantine Moscoso, president of the Health Network Convention in Cusco, said the medical team is in Caman? recently confirmed that there is no single case of disease caused by respiratory or other.
He said that when he arrived in the community to accompany the mayor Fedya Castro, a medical team that had been installed days before and had eradicated any disease.
For the official complaints from community representatives answer "apparently their intention to obtain an economic incentive to be affected."
Behind the complaints of the alleged ineffectiveness of its sector hidden political and economic interests, he said.
Asked to clarify causes of the deaths of seven children
Fermin Cruz, brother of one of the children died in Lima, who was rushed from Cusco, was indignant at the statement by the Deputy Minister of Health who reported that the deaths were due to an outbreak of rabies.
The family said he never gave the Guillermo Almenara Hospital, where he was rushed to her sister of nine, a document with the diagnosis or explained how it was determined that she had died of rabies caused by bite bats.
The lack of clarity as to the facts suggests that seeks release from any liability to the TGP.
This company did not appear before the congressional committee despite being requested to inform the authorities along with the health sector, what happened to the children.
Olivares Moscoso said that only in the case of the death of this child was determined to be human rabies wild, but that the cause of death of other children was due to respiratory diseases.
The official reported that in the first weeks of May was Caman? a lot of vaccines to prevent rabies.
However, Agusto Mavite Ruben, head of the community of Camana said the last time you were vaccinated against the disease in their area was in February this year.
Mavite showed their concern and distrust of the medical diagnoses can say from Lima. This is because he considers as a mockery to say that children who died between April and May are the cause of bat rabies bite.
Research must continue
Comaru president, said in turn that hope is found as soon as the true cause of death of children. He said that investigations must continue to find the truth.
People expect that the Congress working group can hear and see the situation in which they find the sick.
By the time representatives of the community are in Caman? headquarters Echarati municipality to handle the shipment of food to the area.
