🇧🇷 : Among the 497 cities in the state, 414 have been hit. As you read this, there is a chance people are still waiting on roofs for rescue, trapped in houses and buildings surrounded by water. Others are still looking for victims of landslides. Many are without access to clean water, power, or ways of coming and going from their cities, with bridges missing and roads destroyed.

Brazil is grappling with one of its worst floods in recent history. Torrential rains have drenched the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, home to 11 million people, since late April and have triggered severe flooding that has submerged entire towns, blocked roads, broken a major dam and shut down the international airport until June.
