In January this year, Lula’s government launched a crackdown on illegal mines located across the Portugal-sized Yanomami region. So far, around 80 per cent of the more than 20,000 miners that invaded the territory have been evicted.
Communities will receive items such as a composition of rice, cornflakes, and manioc flour. By the end of the year, indigenous people will receive more than 100,000 baskets.
Brazilian authorities have launched an operation to reclaim Yanomami Indigenous territory from thousands of illegal gold miners who have contaminated rivers and brought famine and disease to one of the most isolated populations of the world.
