The number of people killed in a landslide1 that hit a Brazilian island resort on New Year's Day has risen to at least 26.

巴西一座度假岛屿元旦当天发生山体滑坡，死亡人数上升至26。

Mud and debris碎片，残骸 destroyed three houses and swept a luxury hotel into the sea on Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis, near Rio de Janeiro.

Heavy rain triggered mudslides elsewhere in the Rio region, destroying homes in hillside山坡，山腰 slums贫民区.

More than 60 people are reported to have died across south-eastern Brazil.

Rescue teams are continuing to search for survivors3 on Ilha Grande.

Officials say the Sankay Lodge4 was full that when the mudslide hit. About 40 guests, including children, were ringing in the New Year.

There are few details about those who died. Authorities said no foreigners were known to be among them.

Witnesses said the houses and the resort度假胜地 had been hit by a piece of the hillside measuring some 300m across.

"It was a deafening5 noise, I've never heard anything like it - a loud thunder that wouldn't stop," Felipe Gomes Martins, a neighbour of the hotel, told the Brazilian news website G1.

Other landslides6 in Angra dos Reis killed 13 people on Friday.

On Thursday at least 19 people died as heavy rains triggered mudslides in Rio de Janeiro state.

Local authorities have declared three days of mourning.
