At least 17 are killed in protests demanding early elections and the release of jailed former president Pedro Castillo.
Other footage showed people administering CPR to a man lying motionless on the ground in a blood-stained sweater, and people with severe injuries in a crowded hospital waiting room.
"I want to call on the central government — how can we have so many dead?" said Jorge Sotomayor Perales, the head of the intensive care department at a hospital in Juliaca. Earlier on Monday, the Ombudsman said a newborn had died while being transferred from the town of Yunguyo, southeast of Juliaca, to a local hospital in an ambulance that had been delayed by a road blockade.Protests calling for the early elections and the release of Mr Castillo resumed last week after a holiday lull.
