Rescue operations underway after cyclone smashes into eastern India

Description

Residents are rescued from flooded homes after Cyclone Yaas battled Covid-ravaged India. Thousands have been left homeless and nine have been killed barely a week after western India was hit by Cyclone Tauktae, claiming 155 lives. Yaas has since moved inland, easing to a deep depression but bringing heavy rains.
