  1. Kkkkk exército não ajudou ninguém esses tanques de guerra estão sendo tirados de uma base de logística do exército brasileiro que inundou não se anime desgoverno do Brasil é o pior do mundo

  2. accurate, but missing lots of information, like population is fighting alone about it, pets were left behind to death, lots of cows and horses are killed, not speaking the big media against te helpers…

  3. A MUITO TEMPO ATRÁS O GREENPEACE BERRAVA LEVANDO PORRADA NA CARA PELAS MESMAS AUTORIDADE QUE LAMBEMOS HOJE EM DIA E TAMBÉM ERAMOS CONTRA AS MANIFESTAÇÕES SOBRE A ALTERAÇÃO NO PLANETA AGORA CHORA !!! ESSA MESMA GERAÇÃO NUTELLA ENCANTADORES DE OTÁRIOS RIAM NAS MANIFESTAÇÕES DO GREENPEACE E OS GOVERNOS CHAMAVAM ELES DE LOUCOS , AGORA UM MONTE DE ABRUTRES CRETINOS DIGITAIS SE ALIMENTANDO DO SOFRIMENTO , A RAÇA HUMANA MISERÁVEIS VERMES IDOLATRAS DE HOMENS CANALHAS OS ESPERTOS BURROS DO MUNDO DE NARNIA .

  4. I am from Rio Grande do Sul (State that is affected) and thank god the region i live in wasnt affected, but my uncle lost everything, except his life of course, stuff are not going easy here

    (Obrigado a todos que doaram para ajudar-nos, mesmo não sendo afetado, sou grato que estão ajudando aqui, como disse acima, meu tio foi afetado e perdeu tudo, menos a vida, ele está bem pelo menos, só não sei onde ele está agora)

  5. I'm from Brazil and the situation is very serious. The people of Rio Grande do Sul are going hungry, thirsty, without clothes and homes. The government is stopping donations and boats of people to save the homeless. The population itself is having to save itself.

  6. The government's help can't compare to the force of the millions of voluntary work and donations, from citzens, hat we´re recieving here. We'll save everyone, and o everything we can! Stay strong Brasil!

  7. Brazil must stop cutting down trees and destroying forests to prevent such a disaster. Many years ago the scientists warned, but Brazil continued to ignore it and this is what happened.

  8. And Brazil is being led like a copycat monkey. Some guys with painted mouths and makeup always referring to other countries. The Brazilian water system is unique in terms of the number and length of rivers, it is larger than all the continents, just look at the cartography, if we deal with river water we need to study this, building dams just with monetary thought, well a hydroelectric plant had to be turned off in the Amazon because of drought, so at that moment it was worth less than a battery, so dams can disappear in seconds. Other countries did what they did to solve their problem. With so many dams, Brazil is full of dead rivers, life does not flow.

  9. Just so everbody knows, the president Lula da Silva, AKA Pinocchio, took so long to send help to the region. BTW, during the turmoil, he made jokes about the Rio Grande do Sul state, saying that he supported both big local teams. The army have been deployed too late as the death toll had already been high. The main help so far has come from civilians and businessmen. Road troopers have fined lorry motorists bringing food and water supply into the affected places claiming that they needed receipts to that. The State Governor is too-weak a soul he seems not to care about the victims as long as he is safe. This portrays how the far-left government have collapsed. Our country needs help, not only about the flood, but also against the dictatorship that has been installed in this land. Please, help us spread the truth.

  10. President Lula, the best in Brazil's history, immediately went there to see the tragedy up close, and declared a public calamity to release emergency funds. And that the governor of Rio Grande do Sul is a Bolsonarist and negligent because he did not carry out the works that would have prevented this tragedy, because he thought they were not necessary.

  11. A Extrema Direita destrói as Leis ambientais, o Sul do Brasil é habitado por descendentes da Europa que trouxeram e defendem o Nazismo e o Fascismo da extrema direita e hoje o negacionismo deles trouxeram essa tragédia

  12. Interesting to see foreigners commenting on the Amazon forest and deforestation as if they were taking care of your forests, but what forests, right? They finished theirs a long time ago. There is even something more interesting, your countries are the ones that benefit most from resources taken from our forests, if the Amazon belonged to you a long time ago it would no longer exist, you stupid hypocrites, the biggest disasters that happen on earth are to blame. It's your fault, because they are the most polluting countries in the world, so don't come and give us moral lessons, you disgusting people, especially without knowledge of the facts.

  13. These are signs from Allah.
    Its Allah warning Brazilians to turn to Him and stop being deceived by the devil.

    Last flood was immediately the next day, the day after the massive carnival micking Jesus and celebrating the devil.

    This flood comes soon after – Madonnas great concert on Rio beach. Madonna is well known for her sexual obcenity.

    May Allah The Almighty protect us, guide us, help us to stay away from the path of the devil. 🤲

  14. In Brazil, floods and deaths in Rio Grande do Sul! Journalists say what happens, but they are unable to gather information about what the government failed to do! It's the hidden forces! They talk about science, but they don't talk about the need to carry out bathymetry at the mouth of the river and lakes. Government incompetent to talk about science.

  15. As a British traveller, this is one of the most beautiful regions in Brazil. I am extremely sad that this is happening to you my brothers and sisters from Brazil 😢
