on Saturday morning called for the establishment of humanitarian aid corridors in various areas of Peru given the road blockades and in order to meet the population's demands.
Remarks were made before the transfer of more than 13 tons of goods, including supplies for water treatment, food, medicines, and household items, by the Air Force of Peru (FAP) to southeastern Madre de Dios region.
"This is an articulated and joint work following the interruption of roads which is occurring in Madres de Dios; it is necessary to establish a humanitarian aid corridor to satisfy the demands of the population, not only in Puerto Maldonado, but also in Puno, Cusco, and Arequipa, whose roads are being blocked," he indicated.
The Cabinet member specified that, thanks to these humanitarian corridors, it will be possible to bring the necessary goods so that the population can be supplied —both with food and the necessary supplies to guarantee their safety.
Shortage
The minister indicated that this joint activity with the Ministries of Housing, Health, and Women allows (the Peruvian State) to guarantee the well-being and health of the population affected by shortages due to road blockades.
"As a State we guarantee our help. Once again, we call for peace, for establishing a humanitarian corridor so as to guarantee the health of our population; let us think about our family. Acts of violence do not lead to anything other than harming our population," he affirmed.
In this sense, the high-ranking official reiterated the call to continue applying dialogue as a mechanism to meet the unsatisfied demands of various Peruvian regions.
"The only solution is dialogue, in an atmosphere of peace for the well-being of each of our populations and citizens," he added.
