Brazil's Flood Death Toll Rises To 224

A week ago, heavy rains began to hit Brazil creating massive mudslides and flooding throughout the whole country. Last Friday, authorities gave reports of the death toll at 212 but the flooding changed the number over the weekend. On Wednesday, the worst of the flooding and mudslides occurred, damaging houses, churches and stores; the homeless number has risen due to this natural disaster. The United States is donating 50-million dollars to help the citizens who survived.
