The drought has dried up rivers near Javari Valley indigenous land, in the Amazon. Many natives are falling ill due to lack of access to drinking water and are left w/t proper medical care, as they rely on river transportation for services.
Union of Indigenous Peoples of the Javari Valley (Univaja) issued this warning, calling for immediate action from the federal gov.
