Brazil flood death toll rises to 18, over 35k displaced

India Today  

The death toll from heavy rains that have battered the Brazilian state of Bahia since November rose to 18 on Sunday, amid incessant torrents that have displaced 35,000 people, authorities said. Two people are also missing, while 19,580 have been displaced and another 16,001 forced to seek shelter, bringing the number of people driven from their homes to 35,000, the Bahia civil protection agency Sudec said. "It's an enormous tragedy," said Governor Rui Costa, who surveyed damaged areas by plane Sunday. A joint operation of federal and state emergency services has been mobilized since Saturday to rescue thousands of residents trapped by the flooding.
