The floods in Brazil, which have particularly affected the state of Rio Grande do Sul, are putting the population to the test. The latest estimates speak of hundreds of victims and missing; more than 1.9 million people have been affected by the consequences of torrential rains. Many have lost everything.
For this reason, the Consulate General of Italy in Porto Alegre thanks for the demonstrations of solidarity and help received and informs that it is possible to donate from Italy directly to the government of Rio Grande do Sul via bank transfer to the current account of “SOS Rio Grande do On the”.
