Poor offered help after Brazilian eviction
The government of Sao Paulo state in Brazil has offered financial help to hundreds of families who were forcibly evicted from an illegal settlement on Sunday.
The move follows widespread criticism of the eviction, fuelled by pictures circulating on the internet of police using tear gas and rubber bullets against poor families.
The state authorities have now offered each family a monthly rental allowance of three-hundred dollars until they are resettled permanently.
Kaum miskin ditawari bantuan setelah diusir
Pemerintah negara bagian Sao Paulo di Brasil menawarkan bantuan keuangan kepada ratusan keluarga yang secara paksa diusir dari pemukiman ilegal, hari Minggu.
Langkah ini diambil menyusul hujan kritik terhadap pengusiran tersebut, dipicu oleh foto-foto yang beredar di internet yang menunjukkan polisi menggunakan gas air mata dan peluru karet.
Pemerintah negara bagian sekarang menawarkan setiap keluarga uang sewa US$300 per bulan sampai mereka bisa mendapatkan rumah secara permanen.
