 The death toll from floods and landslides in southeast Brazil a week ago was raised to 64 on Sunday, as the search for one missing person continued, Prime9jaOnline has learnt.

The Sao Paulo state government said in a statement that 18 of the confirmed victims were children.

Last weekend, more than a month's worth of rain fell in 24 hours on the picturesque beach resort town of Sao Sebastiao and surrounding areas.

The largest daily rainfall ever recorded in Brazil, according to authorities, triggered violent floods and landslides that ripped through precariously built hillside communities.

According to the G1 news site, citing civil defense officials, one person was still missing on Sunday, down from dozens earlier.

The downpour displaced over 2,400 people by washing away homes, roads, and clinics and other infrastructure.

An estimated 9.5 million of Brazil’s 215 million people live in areas at high risk of flooding or landslides — mainly poor favela neighborhoods.

The South American country has been hit by a series of deadly weather disasters in recent years, which experts say are likely being made worse by climate change.
