Dozens of Indigenous children suffering from malnutrition and acute diseases hospitalised in northern Brazil, officials say, as investigators probe 'genocide' against Yanomami people
Brazil has declared a medical emergency in the Yanomami territory, after reports of children dying of malnutrition and other diseases caused by illegal gold mining.
The health secretary of Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima state, said on Friday that 59 Indigenous children were currently at the only pediatric hospital in the state, 45 of them from the Yanomami people. Eight were under intensive care. Brazil's government last week declared a medical emergency in the Yanomami territory, the country's largest Indigenous reservation, after reports of children dying of malnutrition and other diseases caused by illegal gold mining.
"Malnutrition is the biggest problem right now," Boa Vista Health Secretary Regiane Matos told the Reuters news agency in an interview.
