Example the airport was sitting under 2 meters of water up until 2 days ago so its only now that were starting to see supply aircraft arriving were only now seeing aircraft that are that are evacuating people and there are still places like in marsh harbor theres a Haitian Community where it where 2 days ago there werent even any there werent even any rescue teams able to get any yet so what we were hearing from people is that there were bodies still on the ground when we were driving through marsh harbor.

A pact that also has measures for the preservation and Sustainable Development of the rain forests brazil venezuela bolivia and colombia are the worst affected by the fires the brazilian president abbas a narrow didnt attend in person instead joining Via Video Conference critics have denounced his anti Environmental Policies in the amazon so much.
