"The Brazilian government is to give aid to two states in the north-west that have seen a recent increase in the number of Haitian migrants. This week, the ministry for social development announced it was to give around US$520,000 to the states of Acre and Amazonas. The first tranche of funds is expected to become available over the next month. The continued hardship in Haiti after the devastating earthquake in January 2010 has forced thousands of people to flee to other Latin American countries in search of a better life."
