00:09Reports from local sources confirm that an entrepreneur with nearly 2.5 billion guaraníes
00:18deposited in Ueno Bank collapsed at his workshop upon learning of the institution's sudden closure,
00:25passing away shortly after at a private clinic.
00:28Additionally, an elderly citizen suffered a fatal health emergency
00:33after discovering that lifetime accumulated savings were locked in the insolvent bank
00:39while the third death under similar circumstances of severe distress has been registered.
00:45The fatal human toll underscores the profound social crisis created by the financial system's breakdown
00:52as millions of account holders remain unable to access basic funds.

01:15are spreading throughout households across the country amid the Ueno Bank crisis.

01:37funds
01:38and to provide special support to older adults.
01:40The organisation also urged people to seek psychological support or visit their nearest health care centre
01:47when emotional distress becomes too much to cope with.
