Thousands of Latin Americans die each year from the disease of the poor... "mal de chagas".

Mal de chagas is carried by small insects that live in mud houses.

Many poor people say that since the disease affects them the most, governments do not spend the resources needed to combat the epidemic.

Teresa Bo reports.

  • They should box them up by the millions and mail them to the government agencies that will do nothing about the problem.

    Bet the first time the fuckers open a box like that, they will want to do something about it.

  • @Btony09 I have actually began to suspect that alot of the poverty we are seeing in the world is because of the U.S government with goldman sache and the rest of the wall street crooks who founded the crooked world bank and promoted consumerism in the U.S and other 1st world countries while fostering the low dollar in poorer countries to get the best deal on the products while bankrupting through enormous debt other countries and using the 3rd world for their own plot for wealth...all Nations!

  • @Frogstomp121 why is this the case I found this video by acsident I was horrified I live in Canada and even our poor don't live like this...though I am conserned over our country now because the U.S. signs agreements with us and now we are loosing control over our own oil...that is scarey...

  • Everyone should read Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano for a good idea of why Latin America is in the shape it is in.

  • Very good Point!!

  • These countries have plenty of natural resources to provide for itself but the governments are so corrupt that hardly any profit from things such as those make it to the people especially the poor.

  • deep fry that shit!

  • Latin America is controlled and exploited by the U.S. under the Monroe Doctrine.

  • That is so wrong!! I pray for Latin Americans' relief from their suffering.

  • thankyou. I love it when people refer other movies. You should watrch alex jones videos.
