Rescuers in boats and aircraft raced against the clock Sunday to help isolated people in Brazil’s mountainous southeast after storms and heavy rains killed at least 20 people.
With more rain predicted Sunday, the deluge pounded the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo, where authorities described a chaotic situation due to flooding.
The severe weather has left many areas inaccessible, complicating rescue efforts as emergency services strive to reach affected communities. Authorities are working tirelessly to evacuate residents and provide necessary aid to those impacted by the disaster.
