Summary of disaster results 80+days

1. More than 40,000 dead confirmed so far. Numbers expected to increase.
2. More than 170,000 are homeless (down 20,0000 without shelter, food or water. These numbers are expected to decrease as the EdP shelter and infrastructure program expands.
3. The town of Aiquile, population 700 is 10% reconstructed,. EdP occupied.
4. The town of Cochinbambas, population 7,000 is 15% reconstructed, and reconstituted. EdP occupied.
5. The Town of Sucre, population 39,000 is undamaged. It is under Chilean Ministry of the Interior de facto administration and martial law. Bandit activity is aqlmost eradiicated. Esercito de Peru units committed along with Gardia Civil police maintain order.
5. La Paz, population 257,000 as of now, with more refugees flooding in is undamaged. With the collapse of local government, Peruvian Gardia Civil units have established a police presence and local governance is by means of "Bolivian People's Communes" with Peruvian civil affairs officials acting as advisers and liaisons between the communes and the current Peruvian relief effort. The Peruvian State of Puno administers the region under a Bolivian People's Provisional Council's state of emergency decree establishing a cordon sanitaire.
6. Cholera and dysentery have claimed 37,000+ lives to date, mostly children as LoN combat troops continue to clog up the logistics lines of supply needed for construction equipment, food and medicine.
7. The railroad reconstruction effort is 43% complete. The shortage of of railroad construction crews has led to the extraordinary Peruvian expedient of organizing convicted criminals in Peru's prisons into railroad work gangs, and offering prisoners pardons and commutations of sentence, based on the risks they are willing to take and the effort they exert to restore Bolivian railroads. Under the "Mileage for Years" program-sentences are reduced per the amount of track each work gang lays. The program is extraordinarily successful as costly. More than 1000 convicted murderers and thieves gave their lives to date in the effort.
8. The Lake Titicaca to La Paz aqueduct continues (60% complete). This project again uses the "Freedom" program with condemned prisoners as labor gangs. This project is unusual, as it is here where most of the combat troops which the LoN (Japanese specifically) sent, are being used to guard the work crews. Lack of machinery, means manpower intensive methods with corresponding high loss of life (2000+ dead so far). This is where Bolivian bandiitos captured by the EdP and GCdP wind up after conviction by Bolivian Peoples' Commune Courts.
9. A similar project called "Skybridge" is 100% complete. In this case the LoN forces under Task Group West command supervises more forced labor gangs as they construct the Huarina Flying Boat Marine de Guerre de Peru Naval Airbase as a receiving point for aerial supplies for the La Paz Medical Exclusion Zone.
10 Those labor units now construct the aerodrome at Cochinbambas under direction of Thai RTAA assistance teams.

Peru's ambassador to the LoN asks fellow league members for the loan of three helicopters and search and rescue crews for the rescue of Colonel Everet Mendoza and his railroad crew trapped in a box canyon cut off by rockslides West of Sucre.

Chinese Air Force personnel have established a procedure whereby they can parachute supplies to the 600 trapped men, but it is impossible for the men to climb out and the CAF transports cannot land into the canyon to fly them out.

How far west of Sucre is this group, and what's the date on this request?

At the headwaters of the Pilcomayo within spitting distance. Road survey and repair party. About 120 days into the earthquake. Puts it around late December early January. That is heading into the hot season for Bolivia. Seasons are opposite in the southern hemisphere to what the northern hemisphere experiences..
