Floods in Indian state kill 28 and displace thousands:

At least 28 people have died and more than 24,000 have been relocated in the western Indian state of Gujarat since Sunday after heavy rains led to massive flooding.

Disaster Strikes Wayanad: Unprecedented Devastation and Heartbreak:

On the early morning of Tuesday, July 30, 2024, the serene hills of Meppadi in Kerala’s Wayanad district were violently transformed by a series of catastrophic landslides. Between 2 AM and 4 AM, nature’s fury unleashed an unprecedented wave of destruction, causing immense loss of life and widespread devastation. A Community in Ruins In a matter of moments, entire villages—Mundakai, Chooralmala, Attamala, and Noolpuzha—were buried under massive debris. The picturesque regions of Mundakai and Chooralmala suffered the heaviest damage, with roads blocked, terrain rendered unstable, and critical infrastructure obliterated. Homes, shops, and vehicles have been swallowed by the earth, and a crucial bridge washed away, cutting off access to the affected areas. The Human Cost The toll is staggering: at least 143 lives have been lost, and countless more remain missing. The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams are working tirelessly, but the enormity of the disaster means that hundreds are still feared trapped under the rubble. Rescuers face blocked roads, unstable ground, and ongoing threats from the fragile terrain.
