Brazil dam collapse leaves dozens dead and hundreds missing

Brazil dam collapse leaves dozens dead and hundreds missing
The dam collapse in south‑eastern Brazil

Rescue teams have resumed their search for hundreds of people still missing after a dam collapsed in south‑eastern Brazil.

Authorities paused the search for hours amid fears that a separate dam was at risk of giving way in the area.

About 3,000 people were then evacuated.

At least 37 people have been killed and more than 250 others are feared dead.

Both dams at the mining complex belong to Vale, Brazil's largest mining firm.

The incident caused a sea of muddy sludge to bury the site's cafeteria, where workers were eating lunch, and at least one bus that carried employees, before engulfing buildings, vehicles and roads.
