Neighborhoods of São Sebastião, on the north coast of São Paulo, continue to face difficulties with water shortages. A bulletin from the government of São Paulo, released this morning (22), informs that the water service has been restored in the areas served by the Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo (Sabesp), including Boiçucanga, one of the most affected districts. However, locations such as Camburi, Camburizinho, Baleia and Sahy, which are not served by the company, are only receiving glasses of water and tank trucks.
The bulletin highlights that the São Sebastião-Ilhabela ferry crossing was fully reinstated yesterday, after being partially suspended between 12:50 and 14:00. The reason for the suspension was “to speed up the flow of vehicles on the Rio-Santos Highway (SP-055), in the São Sebastião-São Paulo direction”.

So far, 26 bodies, of the 48 deaths, have already been identified and released for burial. There were 47 deaths in São Sebastião and one in Ubatuba. There are 10 adult men, nine adult women and seven children. The entire state has 1,730 people displaced and 766 homeless as a result of the rains.
The state health department reported that 28 adults and six children were treated at the North Coast Regional Hospital. Of this total, ten are in serious condition and 18 are stable. Two patients, one pregnant and one postpartum, were transferred to Stella Maris Hospital. This Tuesday (21), two children, both eight years old, were sent to the Regional Hospital of São José dos Campos.
