Sri Lanka Flood Disaster: 366 Dead After Cyclone Ditwah | Worst Tragedy In Nation’s History

Sri Lanka is under a nationwide state of emergency after Cyclone Ditwah triggered catastrophic flooding across the western provinces, killing at least 366 people and leaving entire neighbourhoods submerged. New footage from Colombo shows residents wading through chest-high waters, stranded without food or shelter as they plead for urgent assistance. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has called this the worst disaster in the country’s history.

According to the Disaster Management Centre, the cyclone destroyed key infrastructure—blocking over 200 roads, damaging 10 bridges, and disrupting power and rail networks affecting 1.1 million people. While Cyclone Ditwah has weakened into a deep depression near Tamil Nadu, officials warn that floodwaters may take days to recede. Rescue teams continue to reach cut-off communities as Sri Lanka braces for a long, difficult recovery.
