The death toll from Hurricane Ida has risen to at least 50, in the northeastern United States, on Sunday.
Reuters reported that there was still hope for those missing in the flood waters, while Pope Francis called on those affected by the storm to show strength.
A spokesman, Kathy Hawkul, Governor of New York state, said that the state witnessed 17 deaths, four of them in Westchester County and the rest in New York City, and the water trapped almost all the victims in illegal housing units built inside basements.
In a related context, 27 people were killed in New Jersey, and four are still missing, according to a spokesman for Governor Phil Murphy.
One death from the tornado was reported in Connecticut, Pennsylvania reported at least four deaths, and Maryland reported at least one fatality.
Hurricane Ida had previously hit the Gulf coast hard, and according to the latest statistics, entire places were destroyed, and the value of the damage was estimated in billions.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards has requested relief supplies and assistance for the millions of people affected by the blackout and for the nearly 600,000 people who do not have access to drinking water.
Ida brings back memories of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans 16 years ago, killing about 1,800 people in that time.
