The Army reached the cities devastated by the rains and rescued a hundred families was isolated

Having suffered 615 deaths, a figure still called to grow, and many of them still unburied for want of relief teams, under pressure from public opinion nationally and internationally, the government of President Dilma Rousseff, after four days of largest natural disaster the country has sent 250 men of the Army National Force.

Within hours, the Army managed to rescue and one hundred families were isolated and desperate. The governor of Rio, Sergio Cabral, who visited the disaster zone yesterday confessed without shame: "I spent a lot of fear." The rain increased, and from the helicopter saw a barrier collapsed on the road RJ-116 ItaboraĆ­ going to Freiburg.

The military will also help in the release of still interrupted by mountain roads of mud and debris washed away and food distribution. Rio police will use helicopters to armored ambulances serve as relief to the displaced by the rain and still trapped in rural areas, without food or water.

Some braved the weather and tempted after a day's journey on foot, through the vegetation to get somewhere to warn that were isolated by destroyed all around them. The Air Force also supports the Army field hospital set up in New Navy Freiburg. The unit is equipped with a ground station telecommunications technology that allows telephone lines and data network for the hospital.

With them were three elderly. The houses of this town were all dropped. "It was indescribable our sense of powerlessness to the despair of the people.

It was terrible to see so many people lose everything. Do not know how many died," said the lawyer and the helicopter to freedom. In contrast with the slowness of the State authorities on the scene to rescue people, people are excited about the general movement of solidarity unleashed throughout the country and not just in Rio to some young people rehabilitating from his addiction to drugs obtained through internet networks to fill two trucks of food and medicine and they themselves were to take challenging roads destroyed.

A woman opened her house had not fallen at all and received four entire families slept in the floor of the kitchen and cooked together what little they had. Young motocross experts were carrying machetes to the site to make way in the vegetation and building trails where they could reach isolated rural areas.

A mason who had lost their entire family, climbed up a hill with a shovel on hand to help dig them up from the rubble of a woman who might still be alive. "Since I've lost everything and everyone, the only thing I can do is help save somebody," said wide.
