About the Crisis

When severe flooding changed daily life

In late 2025, Cyclone Ditwah brought intense rainfall and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka, triggering landslides, infrastructure damage, and mass displacement. Western districts including Colombo, Gampaha, and Kalutara experienced severe flooding as rivers overflowed and communities remained underwater for days. The floods disrupted livelihoods, education, and access to safe housing, leaving thousands of families unable to return to normal life. As emergency relief efforts stabilised the situation, attention shifted toward long-term rehabilitation and rebuilding.
