Rio Grande do Sul continues to be battered by heavy rains after catastrophic flooding swept Brazil’s southernmost state last week, leaving not just tens of thousands of people displaced, but animals stranded, too. More than 155,000 people have been left homeless, without food or water amid the floods. As of Wednesday, 131 people are still unaccounted for and 90 have died, according to the state’s civil defence agency.
