Deadly floods and landslide hit India’s Kerala

Torrential rains have battered India's southern state of Kerala, triggering deadly floods and landslides. At least two individuals have lost their lives, while eight others sustained injuries as the severe weather swept through the region.

The downpours have caused significant disruption, leading to widespread flooding that has inundated communities and hampered daily life. Landslides, a common hazard in Kerala's hilly terrain during monsoon season, have added to the devastation, cutting off roads and isolating some areas.

Authorities have launched rescue and relief operations to assist those affected by the natural disaster. Efforts are focused on reaching stranded residents, providing medical aid to the injured, and assessing the full extent of the damage to infrastructure and homes. The full impact of the floods and landslides is still being determined as emergency services work to manage the crisis.
