At least 201 people have been killed in Kerala since Tuesday after multiple landslides in the hills of Wayanad district sent torrents of mud, floodwater and giant rolling boulders to downhill villages.

The disaster also left behind a trail of destruction by flattening hundreds of houses and destroying roads and bridges.

More than 5,500 people were rescued from hillside villages and taken to relief centers.
