In India, floods kill dozens

At least 24 people have died in floods in southern India after heavy rains caused rivers to overflow, cutting off towns and villages.

Five children are among the dead and there are fears the death toll could rise further as many people are missing.

Kerala’s chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said thousands of people have been evacuated and more than 100 relief camps have been set up across the state.

Several houses were washed away and people became trapped in the district of Kottayam in Kerala state.

Video from the area showed bus passengers being rescued after their vehicle was inundated with floodwater.
