In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration, and Egyptian Expatriates extended its sincere condolences to the victims’ families, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

At least 93 people were killed and many others injured following multiple landslides in southern India, after torrential rains triggered torrents of mud and water that swept through tea estates and villages.

The landslides hit hilly areas in Kerala state’s Wayanad district early Tuesday, flattening houses, uprooting trees and destroying bridges. 

In a post on social media platform X, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was distressed by the landslides.
