A new landslide has swept away some 40 homes in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro area, burying up to 200 people, following the heaviest rains in decades.
Mud came crashing down into a slum in Niteroi, across the bay from Rio, officials said.
Rescuers are still searching for survivors of previous mudslides. The number of confirmed dead is 150 but is now expected to rise steeply.
