The Wire

The Kerala floods have been raging for over two weeks in southern India but last week there was record rainfall that caused rivers to burst their banks and triggered large-scale floods and landslides, the latter causing the majority of deaths.

Australians with family in Kerala have been anxiously waiting for news from their families. Others such as the Kerala Youth of Australia have been raising funds and awareness for those affected and Save the Children India have been working tirelessly with those affected in Kerala State.

These aid efforts, both within India and from the international community are helping rehabilitate the shattered local population.
