Brazil is grappling with severe flooding in its southern region, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul. The floods have resulted in at least 154 deaths, 130 missing, and displaced around 600,000 people. The Brazilian government has announced a $10 billion aid plan to assist the affected areas. The current deluge in Brazil follows a cyclone last September that killed 54 people.
