At least 270 people died when a dam burst at an iron ore mine in Brazil on January 25, 2019. The search for missing persons is still ongoing and many relatives have not yet been terminated two years after the disaster. - My sister can be anywhere in this area, says Natalia De Oliviera and points out the several square kilometers of clay area.
The company Vale owns the dam that collapsed on January 25, 2019.
Mud and debris rushed down and covered an area as large as 300 football fields.
After two years, the disaster still affects many residents, the local economy and the environment.
"Vale not only took my family, an infinite number of families were affected and lots of lives were destroyed," Atamaio Ferreira told Reuters.
