In a dramatic turn of events, four people were rescued alive Friday from beneath debris in Kerala, India – three days after catastrophic landslides buried their home. 🏠💔 Rescue teams cheered as they pulled the survivors from a collapsed house in the southern state, where monsoon rains have triggered deadly flooding and mudslides this week.
🚑 Heavy equipment finally reached the disaster zone after workers completed a critical temporary bridge, supercharging search efforts in the worst-hit areas. Local authorities confirmed the rescued individuals are receiving medical care while operations continue to locate others still missing.

The survival story comes as Kerala battles its most intense monsoon season in a decade, with climate scientists warning of increased extreme weather patterns across South Asia. 📈 Stay tuned for updates as this developing story unfolds!
