In Summary
• As Texas confronted winter storms, power outages, and water supply issues, and North Carolina was hit by tornadoes, Direct Relief provided support to both states.
• The organization has committed $10 million to support safety net providers administering Covid-19 vaccines to vulnerable populations.
• Direct Relief is donating $530,000 to bring oxygen concentrators to the Brazilian state of Amazonas, which is experiencing a dire shortage.
In ‘dire’ plea, Brazil’s Amazonas state appeals for global COVID assistance
In a letter describing pandemic conditions as “dire,” the government of Brazil’s Amazonas state is pleading for urgent medical assistance from the international community. The authenticated letter apparently bypassed the Bolsonaro administration which critics say has been ineffectual in dealing with COVID-19.
Manaus, the Amazonas state capital, was overwhelmed by the coronavirus last April, but this second wave, according to state authorities is far worse, impacting not only the city, but increasingly, the state’s rainforest interior. The soaring number of cases and deaths statewide is yet to be fully tallied.
