Once again,Rio de Janeiro,Brazil,is on the news of the World for negative reasons.After the criminal gangs war some months ago, now the city is suffering with intense and stormy rains that is causing huge floods and mud avalanches on many zones of the city. More than 500 people had lost their lives on this tragedy,so far; and too many others had lose their houses and belongs.The survivors donīt have a sure place to go,and they donīt know what the future can bring then...
Unfortunatelly,itīs a situation that repeats on every Summer(on south hemisphere),due to several tropical rains that afects the south of Brazil ,making very serious damages on areas of poor and illegal contructions,mostly on hills with mud avalanches and low areas with huge floods. But this year it became worse,with a huge loss of lifes... Here is a video about a dramatic rescue of a mid-age woman from the roof of her house,during a huge flood.She was saved by her neighbours, and this is a great example of hope,courage and persistance for save a human life.
