At least 56 people have died in Brazil’s northeastern state of Pernambuco amid heavy rains over the weekend, according to the state’s civil defense forces.
An additional 56[?] people are missing and at least 25 are injured, Brazil’s Minister of Regional Development Daniel Ferreira said on Sunday.
More than 3,900 people have also lost their homes due to devastating downpours, Ferreira added.
Some of the deaths were caused by landslides in the greater Recife area, said the Pernambuco civil defense, which has urged residents living in high risk areas to seek shelter elsewhere.
In the city of Recife itself, schools have opened to shelter displaced families.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that Brazil’s military would assist those impacted, and that he would personally travel to Recife on Monday to assess the situation.

OMG ! They never have rain in Brazil ,D’oh
Almost like weather.
Were the homes those 2x4 and corrugated metal ones
La Niña, El Niño. Rain in some places. Drought in the others.
It was assault weather. It needs to be banned. Don’t try and blame shoddy construction in obvious flood zones.
Victims, RIP.
They DO have some EPIC landslides!
Ban rain…
Ban rain.
I doubt the rain killed anybody. The headline should’ve argued that heavy rains LEAD to 56 people being killed.
Speaking of Brazil, Klaus Schwab and the NWO is coming after Bolsonero next. Nobody in their way will be allowed to stand.
We need more rain control laws
Careful. To control it they will tax it. (They have tried this already!)
The headline should’ve argued that heavy rains LEAD to 56 people being killed.
Nah. “Heavy Rains Randomly Kill 56 People”
Ban high capacity rain.
A call for rain control is in order the sages of D.C. say.
