A 🧵on São Paulo’s homeless: Yesterday we met Padre Julio Lancelotti, a priest who helps São Paulo’s homeless population. He’s been doing this job for 40 years. Here he is taking food and clothes to a soup kitchen. He says he’s never seen it this bad. The homeless population in #saopaulo has risen 31% since the pandemic began. Official figures put the number at 32,000 on the streets but the real number is thought to be far more.
