Flood in Sri Lanka

Heavy rainfall from a storm system, developed into a cyclone, caused severe flooding and landslides in Sri Lanka. Cyclone Fengal caused flooding in the Tamil Nadu state and the Puducherry region, after crossing India's southern coast from the Bay of Bengal on 30 November.

The latest data from the Disaster Management Centre in Colombo showed at least 16 fatalities, including children, and over 138,944 people were forced to evacuate. Northern and Eastern regions of the country were particularly hard-hit, with extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. The Puducherry region experienced 24-hour rainfall, while the southern city of Chennai was swamped with water.

Emergency services, including the Sri Lankan army, were mobilized. As roads were completely flooded, boats were used in rescue and relief efforts.
