📦 Fifty families in Juiz de Fora received appliance kits to help them get back on their feet following the heavy rains that hit the city in February 2026. They suffered from flooding, landslides, and various other impacts in the city. 🔹 Refrigerators and microwaves were delivered—items identified by the Juiz de Fora City Hall as necessary for the affected families. Blankets were also distributed to another 120 people in shelters. The deliveries are carried out in coordination with the Municipal Social Assistance Secretariat, which works to identify local needs. 🤝 These efforts are part of the SOS Minas Gerais project, implemented by the IOM with financial support from the Vakinha Institute. The partnership aims to strengthen the humanitarian response and support the recovery of communities impacted by disasters in the municipalities of the Zona da Mata Mineira region.
