[Regnum] The death toll from floods caused by heavy rainfall in southern Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state has risen to 39. This was reported on May 3 by CNN Brasil.
It is clarified that today 39 people have become victims of the worst floods in the last few decades, and another 68 are listed as missing. In addition, according to the state government, at least 74 people were injured due to the rampant disaster.
The rains in Rio Grande do Sul began on Monday, April 29. To date, 265 municipalities have been affected, 32 thousand people are left homeless and are in temporary shelters. In the state capital of Porto Alegre, one of the floodgates of Lake Patus burst, leaving areas in the north of the city at risk of flooding. A delegation led by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva arrived in the affected region against the backdrop of unfavorable forecasts.
As specialists from the Brazilian Geological Survey clarified, the flooding was the worst in more than 80 years. Water levels in several cities were at their highest since records began nearly 150 years ago.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that in the south of Brazil, 29 people became victims of floods, and another 60 were missing. Parts of the state of Rio Grande do Sul remain on red alert.
