Journey to the heart of Amazon's worst drought in decades | Video

Santa Helena do Inglês (Brazil), Oct 29 (EFE) - The pier in Santa Helena do Inglés is now one in name only: it has not received a boat for two months, and if you were to jump from its splintered planks, you would land face down in the mud, which is what's left now that the river is more than a mile away from the dock.

Santa Helena is one of 60 municipalities in the Brazilian state of Amazonas - out of a total of 62 - that have declared a state of emergency due to the historic drought.
