When the Covid 19 cases also increased in South America, Greenpeace Brazil immediately forged plans to support indigenous communities in particular. In parallel with other organizations, the emergency aid operation "Wings of Emergency" was prepared in order to provide remote indigenous communities with medical help and the most essential protective equipment:

Between May and October, the helpers distributed 63 tons of protective equipment, hygiene and disinfectants and oxygen bottles to more than 160.000 indigenous people in four Brazilian states by plane and boat. In addition, 75 hospital wards have been set up in indigenous villages and will continue to operate after the pandemic. 

Greenpeace eV was also able to provide non-statutory humanitarian and medical emergency aid in this project. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) issued a special decree (dated April 09.04.2020, 31.12.2020) that allows tax-privileged corporations to use financial resources for those affected by Covid 19 until December XNUMX, XNUMX. Participants in the Deutsche Postcode Lottery supported the rapid deployment of the "Wings of Emergency". We thank you very much for this
