New figures show that 420 Yanomami children under the age of five died from preventable causes such as malaria, malnutrition and parasitic infections between 2019 and 2022, during Jair Bolsonaro's presidency in Brazil. That is nearly double the number of deaths recorded in the four previous years. Critics link the crisis to weakened indigenous health protections and illegal mining in Yanomami territory.
Why now: The humanitarian crisis in Yanomami territory and Bolsonaro's responsibility remain central to Brazilian political debate.
