Devasting landslides swept the district of Wayanad in Kerala on 30 July 2024.
Two villages have been completely levelled, wiping out all 150 houses located there. Official reports confirm over 250 deaths, 300 persons still missing and more than 200 injured are receiving treatment. There is a high risk of disease, and it is feared that the death toll will rise.
The affected communities are experiencing severe trauma, having lost all their possessions and assets overnight. Search and rescue operations are still ongoing; however, access to the most affected village remains challenging due to connectivity issues. The disaster has also affected migrant workers from several states, many of whom have yet to be identified.
HAI’s LOCAL members are on-ground, mobilising support, taking part in search and rescue efforts, mobilising support for the evolving WASH needs, extending psychosocial care, particularly for children, providing translation support to the children of interstate migrant workers and collaborating with the local government to ensure a coordinated response.
