Não, BBC. É a pior enchente da história. Nos anos 40, quando houve uma enchente parecida, muitas das áreas atingidas não eram povoadas. Os estrangeiros não conhecem a dimensão do Brasil. Nós temos mais cidades com mais de 1 milhão de habitantes que os Estados Unidos, por exemplo. A região do Rio Grande do Sul, afetada direta ou indiretamente por esse desastre, tem mais de 5 milhões de habitantes. Os prejuízos são incalculáveis e a perda de vidas é irreparável.

After torrential rainstorms in Rio Grande do Sul they have to tackle the situation that the flood has been wreaking havoc. There are thousands of people displaced from their homes, but we are together sending food, water, medicines,cleaning materials and clothing to them. They are asking for help, so we should do something to help them. And I'm sure the entire country are feeling the same way.

The worst of the problems was the lack of water, but 1 Brazilian navy ship with the capacity to desalinate one million liters of water per day, which was in war exercises with the French navy, was sent to the site, in addition to 220 purifiers. of water arrived in the city of Porto Alegre, it has the capacity to purify over 1.5 million liters of water that are collected from the river itself.

A lot of people are doing their best to help people from the South of Brazil. Ordinary people, churches, TV channels are collecting food, clothes, blankets, and all kinds of cleaning products to send to these affected people. Several professionals, such as, vets, doctors, fire fighters are also contributing to lessen those people's suffering. Let's all pray for them! It is a long term job until everyone can have their routine back! Thank you for this article! Rosangela from Brazil

Regrettably, many families have suffered losses of loved ones, pets, homes, shops, factories, farms, crops, and more. Entire small cities with populations of 20,000 to 30,000 residents have been entirely wiped out. These communities were ill-prepared for this massive disaster, receiving evacuation warnings too late. We have an ineffective government that heavily focuses on collecting taxes for personal gain. In times of crisis, their response and actions are delayed, fortunately there are proactive individuals who successfully rescue and provide refuge for those in need.

Your solution would be a military coup with Bolsonaro in power? Do not use the suffering of a people to justify your political beliefs. There are more appropriate forums for this discussion than an English class.

I got one doubt. Can you explain this? 'people have had to leave their homes' is this present perfect form?

@bbclearningenglish Месяц назад

👍 Yes, you're right! 😊 'Have to do something' is similar to 'must do something' or 'should do something', so when we say this using the present perfect, it becomes 'have had to do something'.
