Severe floods in the Rio Grande do Sul state of Brazil have led to widespread devastation, killing 83 people and leaving over 20,000 homeless. It is described as one of the worst disasters in recent Brazilian history.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expressed deep concern and called for urgent action in response to the disaster. He also emphasized the need for a national plan to prevent climate-driven disasters.
The flooding, attributed to climate change, has led to chaos, including power outages, looting, and infrastructure damage. The situation remains dire, with no power and a lack of drinking water.
