Yanomami humanitarian crisis
Ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Yanomami territory in Brazil / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro (2019–2023), a series of mass deaths, famine, forced displacements and other major human rights violations took place in the Brazilian Yanomami Indigenous Territory.[1][2][3] Such events reportedly started or were aggravated from 2019 on as a consequence of rampant exploitation of natural resources by individuals and companies with state approval, and have been frequently said to constitute a genocide against the Yanomami people.[4][5][6]
