The Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America - People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) expressed on Tuesday its solidarity with the people and government of Brazil for the floods in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the south of the country.
The regional bloc published on social network X through a statement "ALBA deeply regrets the human and material losses, expresses its condolences and reiterates all its support to the people and the Brazilian Government".
In the text, the alliance described the current situation in Rio Grande do Sul as a "historic catastrophe, which overcomes the floods of 1941 and is the fourth environmental disaster of its kind in a year, is a call to continue fighting the devastating consequences of climate change and to join efforts to mitigate risks in situations like this".
The torrential rains of the last week in the state of Rio Grande do Sul have affected about 1.4 million people.
