Flood in Brazil
Major floods in Brazil have now affected over 250,000 people and as many as 39 cities have been flooded.
It is regarded as one of the most extensive floods Brazil has experienced in recent years.
The ongoing flooding, which began in April 2015, is affecting cities along the Amazon River after prolonged heavy rain caused it to overflow. The Solimoes River, which is a branch of the upper part of the Amazon in northern Brazil, overflowed in early June, spilling out into the streets of nearby cities of Amazonas State. Due to the high water level from the flooding, some residents have resorted to the use of canoes to navigate through the water-logged streets.
Flooding is common in Brazil during this time of year, but the continuing high water levels pose difficulties for agriculture and present ongoing disruption to the region.
