The Civil Defense and Protection Superintendence of Bahia (Sudec) counts, until this Monday (27), 116 municipalities affected by the heavy rains that hit the state since last Thursday, 23. Of these, 100 municipalities have already declared a situation of emergency. There were also 20 deaths and 358 people injured.
The two most recent deaths occurred in Itabuna: a 33-year-old woman, a landslide victim, and a 21-year-old man, carried away by the current. The total number of people affected reaches 471,009, according to data from city halls and Sudec. Also according to the data, 31,405 people are homeless and 31,391 are homeless.
At least another 15,400 people are homeless. The weather forecast is that thunderstorms in the region will persist in the coming days, which could worsen the impacts of the rains.
The federal government has already transferred R$ 20 million to the affected municipalities in Bahia, as shown by Broadcast Politico.
The Minister of Citizenship, João Roma, is in the state to represent President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and provide assistance to the homeless. He is also a pre-candidate for the Bahian government by Republicanos, now in the hands of Rui Costa (PT).
Bolsonaro, in turn, left for São Francisco do Sul (SC), where he will spend the New Year’s Eve party accompanied by first lady Michelle and her 11-year-old daughter Laura, and will only return to Brasília on January 3rd.
To the Political Broadcast, the Ministry of Regional Development informed that the head of the ministry, Rogério Marinho, should only go to Bahia tomorrow morning.
