'Given the hardship these families are going through now and for months to come, we are calling upon all people of conscience to take immediate action in solidarity.'
Since the beginning of this year, hundreds of thousands of families have faced devastating flooding in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The floods have displaced more than 93,000 people and have taken 26 lives. People are scrounging for their few remaining belongings, and frantically searching for loved ones.
In this case, following some of the heaviest rainfall in the history of Bahia, the overflowing of local rivers led to two dams bursting within 24 hours.Right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro has largely neglected the crisis in Bahia, a state governed by the opposition party. His ministers made only a single appearance to the region after outcry in the national media. But so far, their visit has not led to them committing any federal resources to the local families—only empty promises.
Meanwhile, other social movements in Brazil such as the Landless Workers Movement have also stepped up to help families through the distribution of meals, mattresses, and cleaning houses. The destruction of the environment for profit, coupled with changes in the distribution of rains created by climate change, has resulted in the loss of homes, lives, and livelihoods.People have been without electricity and income for weeks now.
