Recipients of emergency aid provided by the federal government today faced immense queues, rain and floods during banking hours, at Caixa Econômica federal branches and at lottery stores in Recife. They needed to go to the bank or to the lottery store because they registered with Poupança Social Digital and could only withdraw with this method.
At the CEF branch in the Encruzilhada neighborhood, in the northern part of the capital, the line was disorganized and people were trying to break down the doors to enter the bank first. The security guards had to act so that the agency was not invaded. The turmoil was so great that aid recipients did not respect the minimum one meter distance between people, causing overcrowding due to flooding caused by rain.
During the night, cards were distributed to try to organize and optimize the service, but to no avail. In the agglomeration were elderly people, pregnant women and other people with comorbidities, who have a preference for care.
Another CEF agency that registered riots was in Olinda, located on Avenida Presidente Kennedy, in the Rio Doce neighborhood. The queue was huge and the rain from the floods made the beneficiaries stay in the water so as not to get out of the queue.
