BRASILIA May 08. 2024 (Saba) - At least 100 people have died and 128 are missing in the devastating floods that have swept through southern Brazil over the past few days.

"About 400 towns have been affected by the worst natural disaster to hit the state of Rio Grande do Sul, hundreds of people have been injured, 128 people are still missing and 160,000 people have been forced to leave their homes," AFP quoted the civil defence as saying on Wednesday.

Search and rescue teams on Tuesday evacuated people trapped in their homes in the state capital Porto Alegre and other cities and towns, while authorities urged residents not to return to affected areas due to possible landslides and health risks.

The Guiba River, which runs through Porto Alegre, has reached historic levels and officials warned on Tuesday that five dams were at risk of collapse.
