According to the ministry, of the 147 quilombola communities in Rio Grande do Sul, distributed across 68 municipalities, 136 are in municipalities declared in a state of calamity or in an emergency situation.
“The remaining 11 communities are in a vulnerable situation for a variety of reasons, such as geographic isolation due to the total or partial blockage of roads, which prevents the arrival of supplies or the quilombolas going to nearby municipalities; the loss of their crops and/or production facilities; and unemployment caused by the destruction or damage of their workplaces outside the territories”, he added.
Gypsies
In the case of gypsies, deliveries were to communities in the municipalities of Ijuí (30 baskets), Nonoai (30 baskets) and Severi (21 baskets). “In total, 209 affected Roma families were identified. Each of them must receive two baskets, for a total of 418 baskets destined for the gypsy people in Rio Grande do Sul [nos próximos dias]”, detailed the ministry.
