Southeastern Brazil, particularly the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo, has been devastated by powerful storms and heavy rains, resulting in significant fatalities and damage. The city of Petrópolis in Rio de Janeiro declared an emergency due to heavy rains since Thursday, with a landslide in the Independência neighborhood on Friday resulting in three fatalities. Overall, the death toll has risen to at least 25 people across the two states. Among the victims, a four-year-old girl named Aila was rescued after being trapped under mud for over 16 hours. Rescue teams and firefighters have been deployed to the affected areas to assist those in need. The region received more than twice its average monthly rainfall in just 24 hours, triggering flooding and landslides, and forcing thousands to flee their homes. Rescuers in boats and aircraft are racing against the clock to help isolated individuals.
