Landslides swept through tea estates and villages in Kerala's Wayanad district on Tuesday, killing at least 107 people while they slept as heavy rain collapsed hillsides and triggered torrents of mud, water and tumbling boulders.

More than 3,000 people have been moved out of the impacted areas and accommodated in relief camps.
