Is going on tour across latin america a government struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic the poorest say theyre the ones suffering the most not just from the disease but from lockdowns and spending cuts and its leading to protests as alexey obrien reports. In a quick door they marched in defiance of the lock down angry over government cuts to jobs and salaries brought in to tackle the pandemic. The mayor of the capital quito had asked the crowds to stay home because of the risk of infection but these protesters believe the stakes are too high. We have no fear of contagion on the contrary we were afraid of the hunger that our comrades and hundreds of family members who live jobless will go through. This anger in chile where demonstrations have played. Did for help saying they dont have enough food. This is not legal but its the only way to make them listen to us to protest and to create barricades chiles president Sebastian Pinera has warned the Health System is reaching its limits theres been a rapid increase in infections in recent days with a new Field Hospital opened to help ease the strain on facilities. Hospitals in brazil are also overwhelmed its the 2nd worst affected country in the world with about 375000 cases and in this ward in Rio De Janeiro patients shared a room for hours with someone who died from the virus staff say they were too busy trying to save lives to move the body also users into the on board we have double the patients and half of the team and that happens in 90 percent of the health units and hospitals and clinics with that overload the quality of the service is inefficient and causes physical and psychological problems to the Health Care Workers on monday the daily coronavirus death toll in brazil who exceeded that of the United States for the 1st time with 807 deaths recorded in 24 hours from a virus president diable so narrow has described as a little flu the pandemic is ravaging latin americas poorest and entire low Income Neighborhood on the outskirts of the argentinian capital one osiris is now in isolation after dozens of cases were confirmed to their aid parcels are being delivered but some residents say theyre already going hungry and in the bolivian city of trinidad grave diggers are working overtime more evidence of this pandemics devastating impact on communities around the world. Brian aljazeera. Well Rights Groups are warning the collapse of the Health Care System in venezuela could make the pandemic worse across the region Human Rights Watch says the countrys grossly unprepared for the virus years of economic and political turmoil have led millions of venezuelans to seek refuge elsewhere more than 5000000 have fled in the past 6 years hundreds of thousands have no legal documentation is latin americas largest refugee crisis in recent history most have traveled to to colombia peru chile ecuador and brazil some have headed to the caribbean in the coming hours european nations will host a pledging conference asking for money to help venezuelan refugees in the region so lets get more on this from our latin america editor of the sea and human is here once again it seems to be the poorest in society who are suffering the most. Absolutely rob right now we are on the street that leads to the venezuelan crown slid his you can see there are tense behind me these people are venezuelan migrants who have lost their jobs in the pandemic they are amongst the most vulnerable and some would say doubly vulnerable because they are not citizens of this country many of them dont have documents they dont have family that they can rely on and this is the case of many of the migrants in this country from peru from colombia but certainly the largest number of them are from venezuela and they are here theyve been camped out for 2 months hoping that to convince their government to send help to send a plane to bring them home. John kind of shows us where hes been camped for weeks with his wife in sydney in the little daughter outside of the colombian consulate in santiago along with dozens of other families they pass the time and the cold as best they can waiting for help from the government settlement that will break. This is precarious the way our politicians count on us for votes we need now to count on them to bring us home. But not far away peruvian migrants testart temperature before allowing us in to see their open air camp outside proves consulate they too want help to return home because the pandemic has less than jobless and destitute which is pretty and its freezing there are no bathrooms and we sleep on cold cement but by far the largest number of foreigners whove lost their livelihoods are the venezuelans who make of chiles newest and largest migrant community. For 2 months hundreds of men women and children have been living like this outside of the consulate. When the pandemic started president Nicolas Maduro sent airplanes to repatriate those who wanted to leak but now the doors of the consulate are shocked right. We have nothing left anymore were living from charity and getting desperate and not to be from our government we are undocumented and we cant ask chile for help the u. N. Special representative for the news whaling migrants and refugees system of government is laying out conditions for people to return one is a quarantine period at the border and the other is more of a long low lying. More. Of. What. The true. Richard that you believe is knowing now be a number of people that theyre allowing back in yes with us. Every day more people arrive at the camp trying to find comfort in numbers around the corner the venezuelans are beginning to be tested now for corona virus either way a group of them we understand will be placed in quarantine so that they will be ready if and when venezuelas government sends an airplane to get them but the real question is what will happen to them once they get home. They tell us they know that the economic insanity situation in venezuela is worse than in chile but to argue that if they have to die of coronavirus or hunger rather it be in their country of birth close to their families in not in a faraway strange land. And a short time ago we just a short while ago rather we confirmed that a 2 month old baby that was born near this camp has been confirmed positive for colvin 19 presumably the mother as well and a few others so this is becoming more and more dire the situation here in santiago which is the epicenter of the pandemic in this country its mandatory to wear face masks as you can see im doing that but but these people have really nothing else to count on except for the charity of people and some organizations that number of all of that at this hour in this donors conference in staking place there are at least 3 south american president s also taking place are participating in that in that conference from ecuador colombia and from peru and its hoped that they will get pledges for at least 2000000000. 00 to help with these the situation of these migrants that are stuck in a limbo in this in this pandemic period they cant go forward because the bill the borders are closed and they cant live where they are so its a very difficult situation indeed yes and elizabeth thank you very much indeed.

Just fistfights but they could descend further into all out conflict at some point in the near future.
