RÍO DE JANEIRO — Sesenta personas murieron y 101 están desaparecidas por fuertes inundaciones en el estado brasileño de Rio Grande do Sul, informaron autoridades el domingo. Por lo menos 155 personas resultaron heridas y los daños por las lluvias obligaron a más de 80.000 personas a abandonar sus viviendas. Aproximadamente 15.000 se refugiaron en escuelas, gimnasios y otros albergues temporales.
El presidente brasileño Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva llegó el domingo a Rio Grande do Sul, acompañado del ministro defensa José Múcio, el ministro de hacienda Fernando Haddad y la ministra del medio ambiente Marina Silva, entre otros. En el Vaticano, el papa Francisco dijo que oraba por los habitantes del estado. “Que el Señor acoja a los muertos y dé consuelo a sus familias, y a las que tuvieron que abandonar sus hogares”, declaró el pontífice.
