Brazil Rains: Death toll from heavy rains in Brazil jumps to 29, Lula visit the region | Oneindia

As Thursday night descended upon Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul (RHee-oo Grahnd-ee doo Soohl) state, the toll of lives lost due to heavy rains surged to 29, while an alarming count of 60 individuals remained missing, as reported by the state's civil defence agency.

This stark escalation in casualties comes in stark contrast to the agency's earlier report released at noon, which had documented 13 fatalities and 21 individuals reported missing.

The rapid escalation in both casualties and missing persons highlights the severity of the situation, underlining the urgent need for coordinated rescue and relief efforts in the affected region.
