Donations transported by the Wings of Emergency to Jordão, Acre state, being stored in Polo Base Jordão, the entity responsible for distributing donations to the field infirmaries.
Between July 28th and August 1st, the Wings of Emergency project delivered 2.3 tons of donations in remote places in Alto Purus and Alto Juruá regions, Acre state, next to the border of Brazil and Peru. With Covid-19 spreading to these areas, where one may only enter by boat or small plane, the project, besides bringing health and hygiene supplies, also supported the assembly of new field infirmaries. The Indigenous Primary Attention Unities (UAPI, in Portuguese) are structures completed or under construction next to villages on inside Indigenous Lands, equipped to assist light or moderated cases, so Indigenous Peoples don’t have to move to cities to get support.
