Mais de 100 mortos em deslizamentos no estado indiano de Kerala
July 30, 2024 - Morreram mais de cem pessoas e muitas outras ficaram isoladas depois de fortes chuvas causarem deslizamentos de terra no estado de 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.
