NAZCA - Tens of thousands of people spent the night on the streets after their houses were destroyed by a powerful earthquake that hit southern Peru on Tuesday, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 500.
The hardest hit towns were along the Pacific coast, at Nazca, 460 km south of the capital, Lima, where 300 people were injured, and Ica, 160 km further north, where another 200 were injured, officials said yesterday.
