Brazil earthquake city families seek justice in Dutch court
Thursday, 15 February 2024
Residents from a Brazilian city devastated by earthquakes caused by salt mining went to a Dutch court on Wednesday, seeking justice and compensation they say is impossible in Brazil. Once a city of one million people, life in Maceio has been upended by earthquakes in 2018 attributed to salt mining and subsequent cracks in streets and buildings, forcing tens of thousands to leave their homes.
