Jonatha de David Sousa Reis, 34, and Bruna Kelly Simoes, 26, wait in a queue to receive donated food at Princesa Isabel square, in an area known as "cracolandia," or crackland, a dangerous wasteland of about eight blocks in the historic center of Sao Paulo, Brazil, March 18, 2021. After a delay in congressional approval, payments are set to resume this month at an even lower rate. For many, that help is too little, too late. Millions have sunk into poverty since the start of the year. For Reis and Simoes, that meant losing their home. The couple moved into a makeshift tent, strung between two trees, on a public square in crackland this year. "As long as there are no jobs, the emergency payment should have been maintained as it was," Reis said. "It's been difficult, very difficult," said Reis.
