Torrential rains that have lashed northeastern Brazil since Tuesday have killed at least 44 people and left another 56 people missing, the government said in an updated toll on Sunday.

"We registered 44 dead, 56 missing, 25 injured, 3,957 without shelter, and 533 displaced," Minister of Regional Development Daniel Ferreira told a press conference in Recife, the capital of the northeastern Pernambuco state.

According to him, twenty-five people were injured in the powerful storms that hit the port city of Recife, and approximately 4,000 people lost their homes.

Thirty people died on Saturday alone as a result of the terrible weather, which began in the middle of the week and produced many landslides amid torrential downpours.

The Pernambuco state administration stated that more than 200 milliliters of rain fell in the greater Recife area in less than 24 hours.

"Although it has stopped raining, for now, we expect more heavy rains in the coming days. So the most important thing is to maintain protective measures," Ferreira said.
