A helicopter provides support to the work of rescuers and firefighters in the search for victims, four days after the collapse of a dam at an iron-ore mine belonging to Brazil’s giant mining company Vale near the town of Brumadinho, state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, on January 28, 2019. The search for survivors intensified on Monday, on its fourth day, with the support of an Israeli contingent, after communities were devastated by a dam collapse that killed at least 60 people at a Brazilian mining complex — with hopes fading for 292 still missing. A barrier at the site burst on Friday, spewing millions of tons of treacherous sludge and engulfing buildings, vehicles and roads.
