Peru’s worst dengue outbreak on record could intensify further as an El Niño climate phenomenon brings torrential rains and mosquitoes, driving the death toll this year past 200 with over 130,000 recorded cases, the health ministry said on Thursday.
Dengue fever is an aedes aegypti mosquito-borne tropical disease that can provoke a high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, and sometimes death.
The country’s health authorities have pointed towards the natural climate phenomenal, El Niño, as one of the key drivers of the surge in cases.
El Niño is a cyclical warming of the world’s oceans and weather, which fuels tropical cyclones in the Pacific, boosting rainfall and flood risk in the region. The increase in rainfall brings mass reproduction of mosquitoes due to the accumulation of water in the cities.

Peru’s health officials are prohibiting residents from storing still water in open containers, hoping to prevent reproduction.
“Dengue kills,” said Health Minister Rosa Gutiérrez in a Tuesday statement. “Because of that, help me eliminate mosquito breeding sites.”
On Thursday, June 8, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) declared that an El Niño is now underway. The past three years have been dominated by the cooler La Niña pattern.

Scientists say this year looks particularly worrying. The last strong El Niño was in 2016, and the world saw its hottest year on record.
“We’re in unprecedented territory,” said Michelle L’Heureux, a meteorologist with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center.
Peruvian President Dina Boluarte signed a decree on Thursday declaring a two-month “state of emergency” in 18 of the country’s 24 regions to allow swift official action for “imminent danger from heavy rainfall” this year and next.

Gutiérrez said the figure is the highest since 2017, when there were 68,290 cases and 89 deaths.

Boston police have identified the suspect who allegedly shot a Boston Police officer multiple times Friday night.
John Lazare, 23, of Brockton, Massachusetts is facing a slew of charges including assault and battery with a firearm, armed robbery, and assault with a dangerous weapon, Boston Police officials said in a press conference on Saturday, June 10.
“This is another example of people who have no respect for life in any way shape or form,” Police Commissioner Michael Cox said at the press conference.
According to the police report, on Friday, June 9 at approximately 9:15 p.m., the unidentified officer saw Lazare who was in the process of robbing a delivery driver.

The officer said that Lazare matched the description of someone wanted for robbing a Domino’s Pizza delivery driver on the same street on Wednesday.
When the officer went to confront him, Lazare allegedly opened fire, hitting the officer multiple times.
Police say that Lazare attempted to evade arrest by running inside a store and climbing onto the roof of a building. He allegedly jumped from the roof, landing in an alleyway and injuring his leg.
The Boston police department officer called for assistance over a police channel, and colleagues came and arrested Lazare and took the injured officer to Boston Medical Center. The officer was treated for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said Saturday that the officer is expected to survive. His name has not been released.
Massachusetts State Police Superintendent Colonel Jack Mawn released a statement following the officer shooting, commending the officer and sharing his commitment to keep people in Massachusetts safe.
“When they hurt, we hurt,” Mawn said in a statement. “Policing is a dangerous job. The men and women in this profession wear a bulletproof vest and carry a pistol, just to go to work.”
“It is a noble profession – a calling, more than an occupation,” he continued. “Those who answer the call, who join the ranks, know the risks. There are times, like last night, when we are confronted with this reality.”

“To members of the law enforcement profession, we thank you from the depth of our hearts,” Mawn said. “Please continue to take care of yourselves, each other, and those who wait for your safe return home at the end of every shift.”
