President Luiz Inacio Lula da SilvaAl Jazeera

More than 2.3 million people have felt the effects of the rising waters in southern Brazil .
A total of 161 people have been confirmed dead, with more bodies expected to be found.
Some articles, videos and posts claimed that the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had blocked shipments of aid and medicine to the region.
Others said Lula deliberately slowed the arrival of supplies so he could present them in person.
Paulo Pimenta , the minister leading reconstruction efforts in Rio Grande do Sul, said false information has taken time and resources away from other needs.
He warned that, while Lula ’s government would not censor the posts, any “lies” that “hinder the work of rescue, restoration and reconstruction” could face punishment.
During the election, supporters of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro flooded popular social media platforms with conspiracy theories.
