Mehr als 100 sterben in Erdrutschen im indischen Kerala

July 30, 2024 - Mehr als 100 Menschen haben in Erdrutschen das Leben verloren, viele weitere dürften in Gefahr sein, nachdem schwere Regenfälle zu Erdrutschen im südlichen Staat Kerala geführt haben.

The landslides struck hilly areas in Wayanad district in the early hours of Tuesday.

Rescue operations are under way, but are being hindered by heavy rains and the collapse of a crucial bridge.

The landslides are the worst disaster to hit Kerala since 2018, when deadly floods killed more than 400 people.

Officials say more than 200 army personnel have been deployed to assist security forces in search and rescue efforts, according to the BBC.
