Drone footage shot on Monday has showed floodwater had not receded in parts of the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, with search and rescue operations continues.

One of the worst-hit towns, Itajuipe, in Bahia state, still saw homes, streets, and vehicles half-submerged after two dams gave way following weeks of heavy rains.

The Igua dam, on the Verruga River near the city of Vitoria da Conquista in southern Bahia has collapsed on Saturday night, forcing authorities to evacuate residents, mainly in the town of Itambe.

A second dam gave way to rising water levels in Jussiape, 100 kilometres to the north, on Sunday morning, bringing more alerts for residents to move to safer ground.

There were no reports of deaths or injuries caused by the dam failures, though bridges and roads were damaged.

Bahia Governor Rui Castro has said the heavy rains have impacted at least 400,000 people, and thousands evacuated from some 67 towns facing emergency situations due to floods caused by heavy rainfall for almost two months.

Civil defense officials have said that the rains have caused 18 deaths in Bahia since the beginning of November, including a 60-year-old ferry owner who drowned on the swollen Rio das Contas River.

And…An outbreak of avian flu has killed more than 5,000 migratory cranes in Israel, prompting authorities to declare a popular nature reserve off-limits to visitors and warn of a possible egg shortage as local poultry are culled as a precaution.

Environment Minister Tamar Zandberg has declared it is the worst blow to wildlife in the country's history. Rangers in protective suits collected carcasses from a lake in the northern Hula Nature Reserve and outlying marshes.She said hundreds of thousands of chickens had been culled.

Report say that children who had visited the reserve may have possibly touched a stricken crane and thus contributed to the spread of the flu. Authorities were looking to import eggs from abroad and avert an egg shortage due to the cull.
