Army members, firefighters, healthcare personnel and volunteers participate in the rescue operation of neighbours from Sarandi neighborhood, whose houses were affected by the floods, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil on May 5, 2024. The challenge is titanic and against the clock: authorities and neighbours are trying to avoid an even greater tragedy than the one already experienced in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, where 66 people died and 80,000 were displaced by the floods, according to the authorities.
