The death toll from severe flooding in southern Brazil has risen to 107, as rescue operations continued and authorities began to see the cost of recovering from the devastation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
In a dramatic symbol of the disaster, rescuers saved a horse that had been trapped precariously for two days on a rooftop in a badly flooded town.
More rains are forecast in the coming days, raising fears that water levels will rise further in the inundated state capital of Porto Alegre and nearby towns.
