Wayanad landslide toll climbs to 334, sombre silence in relief camps

Wayanad: The sombre silence in the relief camps at Meppadi in Kerala's Wayanad is occasionally pierced by the anguished cries of those who lost everything in the devastating landslide that struck the region last Tuesday. The survivors find themselves grappling with unimaginable loss.

They have been stripped of everything they once held dear. Their homes, painstakingly built with savings accrued over a lifetime, are now reduced to rubble. Meanwhile the toll in the tragedy has climbed to 334 with as many as 218 people still missing, according to Manorama Online.

Many have lost their loved ones, and it has left them with nothing but memories of what their life once was. Many sit with blank expressions. (PTI)
