Description
Amid the worst drought on record, Brazil continues to battle thousands of fires, with smoke impacting major cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as neighboring countries.
"It is worrying, especially for elderly people, children... the smoke is really very harmful, it is on a very large scale," says Gilberto de Oliveira, resident in the region of Mangaratiba, in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro.
In the first twelve days of September 2024, the number of fires (49,266) has already surpassed those recorded during the same period in 2023 (46,486), according to satellite data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). IMAGES
