Description :
Following the flooding and landslides that hit Brazil on 12 January, many people in isolated areas still have no means of contacting the outside world. The Brazilian Red Cross and the ICRC have been making satellite phones available, so that people in the affected area can reassure their worried relatives that they are safe and well.
Medicine student Daniel, who is currently working at an improvised medical post in the Vieira neighbourhood, reports the region's chaotic situation to his family in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
