Sri Lanka Deadliest Floods Update: Cyclone Ditwah KILLS 123, Leaves 130 Missing | Military Rescue On

Sri Lanka is grappling with one of its deadliest natural disasters in recent years after Cyclone Ditwah tore across the island.
The storm triggered catastrophic flooding, landslides, and widespread destruction — leaving 123 people confirmed dead and 130 still missing, according to the Disaster Management Centre.

Entire neighborhoods, roads, and bridges have been washed away, with nearly 44,000 people forced into state-run welfare centres after losing their homes.
Rescue teams, the military, and emergency crews are working nonstop as communication with several regions remains cut off.

Although Cyclone Ditwah has moved away toward the south Indian coast, experts warn that its indirect effects — heavy rains, flooding, and strong winds — will continue.
Low-lying districts faced the worst conditions on Saturday as the Kelani River burst its banks, triggering new waves of evacuations across Colombo.

India has launched Operation Sagar Bandhu, sending emergency supplies and pledging further assistance as Sri Lanka battles this humanitarian crisis.

With thousands displaced and entire communities wrecked, the nation now turns toward an immense recovery effort — searching for the missing, rebuilding homes, and restoring shattered infrastructure.
