Brazil: Churches open their doors to thousands displaced by floods
Churches open their doors in Brazil's western Amazon region after days of flooding cause the displacement of thousands of families.
By Vatican News staff writer
Thousands of families have been left homeless in the western Amazon after torrential rains caused severe flooding across the Brazilian state of Acre. At an already critical time due to the Covid-19 pandemic, those most hard-hit are the poor who live on the banks of rivers. This is the case for the community of Sena Madureira, a town near the Iaco River. Located about 145 km from the capital Rio Branco, Sena is the third most populous municipality in Acre, after Rio Branco and Cruzeiro do Sul.
