Brazil is currently going through a period of unprecedented crisis. For more than a week, violent bad weather has hit the southern regions, causing terrible flooding. The human toll is terrifying with more than 400 deaths recorded and nearly 150,000 people forced to leave their homes urgently. The state of Rio Grande do Sul is particularly affected.
