Military personnel help people crossing a footbridge linking Arroio do Meio and Lajeado, over the Forquilha river, since the bridge over the river on the Rodovia RS130 fell down during the recent floods, in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, on May 15, 2024. Up to now, heavy rains, flooding, and mudslides that have ravaged the southern Rio Grande do Sul state for about two weeks have left 147 people killed, about 600,000 people displaced, more than 800 injured and 124 people reported missing.
