This handout picture released by the Brazilian Presidency shows Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (C), Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco (L) and Chamber of Deputies' President Arthur Lira displaying the document after signing the request for a legislative decree for the National Congress to recognize the local public calamity in Rio Grande do Sul, a state devastated by floods triggered by torrential storms, at Planalto Palace in Brasilia on May 6, 2024. President Lula da Silva declared a "state of public calamity" in 265 localities, which will unlock the direct transfer of funds for aid. Since the unprecedented deluge started last week, at least 85 people have died, 134 are missing and more than 150,000 were ejected from their homes by floods and mudslides in Rio Grande do Sul State, authorities said.
