This gesture of solidarity gains relevance given the scenario of devastation caused by the rains in the state. According to data from the state Civil Defense, to date, the rains have resulted in 75 confirmed deaths and left 103 people missing. In addition, more than 80 thousand people were displaced, affecting more than two thirds of Rio Grande do Sul’s municipalities.

In parallel with individual initiatives, government authorities and public figures have intensified efforts to assist victims. President Lula (PT), accompanied by a delegation of authorities, visits the state today to coordinate rescue efforts and assistance to the victims.
