After nearly two months and a half of the historic floods that affected since 29 April 2024 2.3 million people of 497 municipalities of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, the UN under the lead of UN Resident Coordinator, continue to support the national and local government response to the floods in the South of the country, with a particular focus on at-risk groups. This includes 14 UN agencies working together to address critical needs in humanitarian assistance, early recovery, and reconstruction efforts. The UN Resident Coordinator's Office, with support from the OCHA's Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, is streamlining information flows and strengthening coordination for various sectors, including education, health, protection, shelter, site coordination and water and sanitation.
