Deadly landslides hit Brazil

  • 12 years ago
At least 95 people have been killed in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro after being hit by its heaviest downpour in decades, that triggered dozens of destructive landslides.

Rio's hillside slums were worst affected, leaving hundreds of people homeless.

Al Jazeera's Craig Mauro reports on the disaster and how many residents criticise the government's response to it.
