Sri Lanka has ramped up nationwide rescue operations as severe floods and landslides continue to strand thousands across multiple districts. Days of relentless monsoon rainfall have triggered widespread destruction, cutting off key roads, damaging homes, and isolating entire communities. Emergency teams, supported by military personnel, have been deployed to reach high-risk zones where rising waters and unstable terrain pose ongoing dangers.
The Disaster Management Centre reports that thousands of families have been displaced, with many seeking shelter in schools, temples, and government buildings. Several rivers have overflowed, and landslides have been reported in hilly regions where saturated soil has caused sudden collapses. Officials warn that more landslides remain likely as rain continues in already-sensitive areas.
