Thousands of tons of waste have filled Cochabamba as residents block access to a landfill, protesting health risks and worsening sanitation.
Around eight thousand metric tons of uncollected waste have piled up in the streets of Cochabamba, Bolivia, as local residents demand the closure of a landfill they claim is harming their health.
Residents living near the Kara Kara dump have maintained a blockade of the site for 14 days, with garbage accumulating along streets and avenues.
The Agro-environmental Court of Cochabamba accepted an appeal from the Kara Kara community to halt the delivery of waste to the landfill, but set a deadline of April 20 for solid waste to resume entering the site — a condition the residents have refused to accept.
Officials report a rise in cases of acute diarrheal diseases and hepatitis over the past two weeks, possibly linked to the mounting garbage clogging the city.
