Heavy rains cause landslides and flooding in São Paulo

Landslides and flooding from heavy rains in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state have killed at least 18 people since Friday, including seven children.

Sao Paulo state authorities say nine other people were injured in the rains and five more were missing, while some 500 families were left homeless across the state.

Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria flew over the flooded areas on Sunday and said he had authorized USD 4 million of emergency aid for the affected cities.
