More rainfall forecast after deadly Cyclone Ditwah slams Sri Lanka | ABC NEWS

Sri Lankan residents are bracing for more heavy rainfall after Cyclone Ditwah killed at least 355 people with hundreds still missing in the country.
The Sri Lankan government has deployed its armed forces to reach flood-stricken communities, while Pakistani and Indian armed forces joined flood relief efforts.
Damaged roads and mudslides have prevented humanitarian organisations from delivering much needed aid to stranded residents.
World Vision Sri Lanka’s national director Dhanan Senathirajah says the situation is a once-in-a-generation event.
