The death toll from major floods in India's tourist hotspot Kerala has jumped to 106, officials said Thursday, with nearly 150,000 people left homeless by rising waters across the southern state.

Kerala's government has described the crisis -- among the worst in decades -- as "extremely grave" as it launched rescue operations to help thousands who remain trapped by floodwaters.
