<p>I [Minister Rutley] was saddened to learn of the terrible flooding that has ravaged
Rio Grande do Sul. I offered my sincere condolences to all those affected by this
tragic incident, including the families of those who have so sadly lost their lives.
His Majesty's Ambassador to Brazil has also offered condolences to State Governor
Eduardo Leite. Through the Start Fund the UK has supported an allocation of £193,000
to provide humanitarian aid in response to the flooding in Brazil. The Start Fund
is a pooled fund to which the UK is a major donor.</p>
