After the devastating floods caused by torrential rains in the state of Rios Grande do Sul, Brazila shocking image was released this morning on May 8.
And local media have shared the unusual image of a horse stranded on the roof of a house in Canoas. The animal, apparently desolate and without options, ended up on the roof to take refuge from the terrible floods that have been recorded in the area.
The event caught the attention of the national and international media, who immediately launched a urgent call for help to save him or provide food as soon as possible.
Hope in the midst of tragedy
The Civil Defense has announced the start of a rescue operation for stranded horse, in which a helicopter would be used to rescue the animal. However, it has not yet been announced whether the rescue has already been completed.
This action joins the efforts of numerous organizations that are working hard to rescue all the animals affected by the floods in the region.
Human and animal losses
The tragic toll of these floods is worsened by the news that the death toll in southern Brazil has exceeded 100 people, according to reports from the Civil Defense. In addition, more than 160 thousand people have been evacuated from their homes in more than 400 municipalities affected by the climate disaster.
Despite the difficult weather conditions, volunteers equipped with boats and jetskis are working tirelessly to rescue those still trapped in their homes or refuse to abandon them for fear of looting. However, the reappearance of rains has hampered these efforts, forcing rescue operations to be temporarily suspended.
Local authorities have issued warnings to residents to avoid returning to affected areas, as the terrain may be unstable and hazardous to health. In addition, there is a warning about the risk of diseases transmitted by contaminated water.
Despite the difficulties, the Solidarity and the spirit of help prevail in the community. Near the flooded Gremio de Porto Alegre stadium, where a makeshift port has been established for evacuees, volunteers continue their work, removing boats and providing support to those who need it in the midst of this crisis.
