Kerala Landslides: Drone Footage Captures Rescue Efforts After Deadly Monsoon Disaster | News9

Drone footage captured on Wednesday (July 31) shows soldiers and rescuers working through slush and rocks under steady rain, searching for survivors and bodies in Kerala, India, following devastating monsoon-triggered landslides. The disaster, which struck the Wayanad district, resulted in over 165 confirmed deaths, with local news channels reporting a higher toll of 179. Nearly 1,000 people have been rescued, but 225 remain missing. The landslides, triggered by heavy rainfall, sent torrents of mud and debris downhill, burying villages and estates. This tragedy marks the worst disaster in Kerala since the 2018 floods, with experts attributing the landslides to weeks of heavy rain that softened the soil, culminating in a catastrophic downpour.
