Landslides and Flooding in Kerala Kill 14 and Displace Thousands
Severe monsoon rains triggered catastrophic landslides and flooding across Kerala, India, on August 2nd and 3rd. At least 14 people have been confirmed dead, primarily in the Wayanad and Idukki districts. State authorities have evacuated approximately 7,700 people to 275 relief camps as search and rescue operations continue.
