Authorities in Brazil are scrambling to locate survivors after devastating floods struck the Minas Gerais, leaving widespread destruction and multiple casualties.
Heavy rains caused rivers to overflow, sweeping away homes, roads, and infrastructure. Emergency teams, including military personnel and local rescue units, are conducting search-and-rescue operations amid challenging conditions. Many families remain displaced, and hospitals are reporting an influx of flood-related injuries.
Officials warn that the death toll could rise as efforts continue, with thousands affected by the disaster. Local and national authorities are coordinating relief efforts, including temporary shelters, medical assistance, and food distribution for the displaced communities.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has expressed condolences to the victims and pledged full government support to aid recovery in Minas Gerais.
