Authorities in Brazil's south say they are planning to build tent cities to house some of the people displaced by historic flooding. The state of Rio Grande de Sul has been devastated by heavy rains since April forcing half a million people to flee their homes. Scientists are warning that it may take a month for the floods to subside. DW's Gustavo Basso has this report from the flooded region.

    The possibility of something like this happening was predicted 3 years ago by local specialists, the thing they got wrong was the timing. They had no idea it would be so soon.

    Not just army is helping. Most of people helping are civilians. Many volunteers from others places are spending time there. The whole country is helping sending clothes, water and food. Proud of those.

    Keeping Brazil in my prayers, it's sad that this is happening, just don't understand how this much damage is done, with no alerts what so ever
  • @angeivargas3885
    São quase 10 milhões de pessoas direta ou indiretamente atingidas. É muito maior que falam
  • @odisseu5082
    Essa matéria não mostrou nem 10% do que aconteceu aqui no Sul do Brasil. Cidades inteiras ficaram debaixo d'água, outras foram totalmente variadas do mapa. Foi uma coisa assustadora que nunca se viu por aqui nessas proporções. Sabe o que é ver uma cidade com mais de 40 mil habitantes debaixo d'água? Teve lugares que o nível da água passou de 15 metros. É simplesmente assustador
