806 Dead People in Brazil for Landslides

Posted On 23 Jan 2011

The flooding and landslides in a mountainous region of Brazil have reached 806 killed people, according to Brazilian government officials.

The disaster is the second largest in Brazil and it has only been surpassed by a meningitis outbreak that killed 1,500 people in 1974.

Rescuers are still searching for hundreds of missing people in the mud, while 20,000 residents have left their homes because hillsides collapsed after a rain that lasted 24 hours, but brought a quantity of water equivalent to a month.

204 people have been reported missing, so the death digit could rise to 1,000 it is also feared an outbreak of diseases in the affected areas.
