Flood in Sri Lanka

Torrential rain in Sri Lanka caused floods and landslides in the last two weeks of December 2014.

39 people were killed in the disaster, and over 100,000 were forced to evacuate. It has been estimated that over a million people were affected by the disaster.

The southeastern area of the country was the worst affected, particularly the Badulla District, but the floods were not isolated to this area alone. Coastal areas of the country experienced heavy flooding, and thousands of hectares of crops were destroyed by the flood waters.
