Amid the ongoing Amazon drought, public authorities in Brazil are struggling to provide food and water to thousands of isolated communities. In the vast and roadless Amazonas state, 59 out of 62 municipalities are under a state of emergency, affecting 633,000 people. The capital city, Manaus, witnesses the lowest levels of the Negro River, a major Amazon tributary, in 121 years. Residents in affected areas, including Careiro da Varzea, are enduring long walks through former riverbeds to receive emergency kits containing basic food and limited water supplies. The crisis is exacerbated by climate phenomena, including El Niño.
