Meer dan 100 doden bij aardverschuivingen in Indiase Kerala

July 30, 2024 - More than 100 people have been killed and dozens are feared trapped after heavy rains triggered massive landslides in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

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.
