More and more homeless in Brazil: "Now whole families are coming"

No one knows for sure how many people live on the streets of Sao Paulo.

- Before, it was mostly lonely middle-aged men.

Now whole families come, says Jessica Campos, who works at an aid center.

Luiza and three-month-old son Tafarel are some of those who have come there to have a meal cooked.

- I have lived on the street for three months.

It is difficult.

There are many who go hungry, she tells SVT's correspondent Tigran Feiler.
