38 refugiados del frío en albergue

A winter operation led by the National Emergency Secretariat is underway to protect vulnerable people from the extreme cold. A shelter in the Asunción riverfront area recently received 38 people, providing them with food, shelter, and specialized medical care. Those in charge emphasize that many of those assisted face chronic homelessness, addiction, or serious health problems such as pneumonia. The report stresses the importance of citizen collaboration through calls to 911 and donations of clothing to sustain this humanitarian work. It also mentions the existence of other shelters in areas like Limpio to expand assistance coverage during the freezing nights.
