Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Monday homes should no longer be built in areas at risk of landslides and major floods, pledging to address housing issues as he visited regions hit by devastating rainfall.

"Sometimes nature takes us by surprise, but sometimes we also tempt nature," Lula said in a speech after meeting with Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas and Sao Sebastiao Mayor Felipe Augusto to coordinate their response to the tragedy.

The devastating rains came amid Brazil's Carnival holiday period, when thousands flock to the region's beaches, likely aggravating the human toll of the natural disaster. More than 2,000 people had been forced from their homes, the government added, while Freitas said earlier in the day at least 40 people were still missing after rains of more than 600 millimeters pounded the coast of Brazil's richest state."At some points we don't even know what's left of the Rio-Santos highway," Freitas said after his meeting with Lula, referring to the main road linking the region's coastal towns.

This thief only released 2 million reais for the homeless. worst president in the history of Brazil.

The father of the poor, saying 'squid', only sent 2 million to help with problems and sent 5 million to artists to perform!

Lula is a trash!

Lula is a felonious scumbag who likely wasn’t even elected, and who tells people “get the shot or starve”! Reuters , sadly & unbelievably, you have become a disgusting useless rag.
