At least 46 people have died from torrential rains in southeastern Brazil, according to the latest toll, while hopes are gradually fading for the 21 missing.
Many of those affected by the floods now have nothing and will have to start their lives from scratch.
It is now impossible to find survivors under the torrent of mud, firefighters involved in the search in Juiz del Fora, a city of about 540,000 inhabitants, told AFP, while meteorologists predict more torrential rains until Friday.

It is recalled that storms of unusual intensity hit Juiz de Fora and Uba, in the state of Minas Gerais, on Monday. Victims lost their lives in floods, collapsed buildings, mudslides and landslides.
“Our family is desperate ,” said Josiane Aparecida, a 43-year-old cook, crying as she searched for her cousin’s children, ages 6 and 9, and her partner, in the rubble of Juiz de Fora. Her cousin was still alive when firefighters arrived at the scene, but she died hours later at the hospital where she was taken. Her aunt was also found dead in the same area.
The family's house, in the Paineiras neighborhood, was buried under mud.
"We're trying to keep our hopes up, it's very difficult ," the woman said.
"It's terrible, they were wonderful children, I often played with them. I haven't slept for two days, I haven't washed, I'll stay here until we find them ," said Josiane's husband, who, with a shovel in his hand, was trying to help the firefighters.

A few meters away, rescuers pulled out a dead man who had managed to get his wife out of their home, but he himself did not escape the landslide.
In Uba, a city of 107,000 people 100 kilometers from Juiz de Fora, the river of the same name caused chaos. The streets in the city center were covered in mud and debris. Shopkeepers, wearing rubber boots, tried to salvage what was left of their destroyed stores.

Felipe Souza Lima, 30, owner of a building materials store, realized the scale of the disaster when he saw two people canoeing across a flooded road.
"We lost a lot of things, there is chaos. Usually, when there is a flood, the water comes a little over the banks, but now a large part of the city is flooded ," he said.
