Severe rainfall in the Zona da Mata region of Brazil has resulted in fatalities, missing persons, and numerous families being displaced, prompting calls for immediate donations of food, clothing, and blood.
Heavy rains have struck the Zona da Mata area in Brazil, leading to tragic consequences including deaths and missing persons in the city of Juiz de Fora, as well as displacing dozens of families. In light of this dire situation, local institutions are urging community members to provide immediate assistance through two main avenues: donating essential items such as food, clothing, and cleaning products, and giving blood to replenish critically low hospital supplies.
The Archdiocese of Belo Horizonte has launched a campaign titled 'Ação Solidária: Juntos por Juiz de Fora' in solidarity with the Archdiocese of Juiz de Fora. This initiative seeks to gather donations for the most vulnerable families identified by local church authorities. Items requested for donation include not only clothing and food but also potable water and hygiene products, addressing the urgent needs of those affected by the disaster.
Donations can be delivered to the Episcopal Vicariate for Social, Political, and Environmental Action located at Rua Além Paraíba, 205 in the Lagoinha district of Belo Horizonte. Additionally, the website forquemdoar.com.br provides a comprehensive list of donation locations and further information, facilitating community engagement in relief efforts to support those impacted by this natural disaster.
