Prayer for Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: Strength and Hope Amidst Severe Flooding Crisis

19 Maggio 2024

We pray for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which has been severely affected by intense and widespread flooding, resulting in the loss of at least 100 lives with 130 still missing. Over 230,000 people have been displaced, and rescue services are diligently working to reach isolated areas inundated by floodwaters. Authorities have urged displaced individuals not to return to flooded areas, as rescuers strive to evacuate and locate people. This is considered the worst natural disaster in the state’s history.
