At least 84 have died in a Brazil dam collapse at a mining site, with many more missing. The resulting mudflow crashed into a surrounding area and destroyed numerous homes.
The company responsible, Vale, was involved in another dam collapse in 2015, which killed 19.
Newly inaugurated Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro dispatched ministers to aid with the relief effort, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent over 100 personnel to help in the search for survivors.
The union of mining workers has claimed that the dam was clearly unsafe before the incident; Vale has denied the accusation.
