According to the Consular Section of the Peruvian Embassy in Honduras, at present there are no reports on Peruvian victims after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that hit the Central American country today.

Diplomat Pedro Vargas Diaz said there are no nationals among the victims registered so far.

Statements were made after getting in touch with the Honorary Consulate in the city of San Pedro Sula, one of the most affected, and with representatives of Peruvian associations in Honduras.

Vargas Diaz explained that the Peruvian population in Honduras is conformed of only 323 people, most of which live in Tegucigalpa, the capital.

The quake, which measured at least 7.1 points, was followed by several aftershocks, and the most affected zones are the Bahia Islands, in the Caribbean Sea.

reports "on" Peruvians or of Peruvians. Makes the world of difference.

I think if every Peruvian had a little RFID implanted so we could keep track of them, that would be great.
