In line with the directive issued by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, in his capacity as Minister of Finance, the Ministry of Finance has approved an increase in the assistance granted for cleaning flood-affected houses and property. Accordingly, the support amount has been raised from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 25,000. This decision is intended to accelerate the restoration of normal living conditions for communities impacted by the Ditwah cyclone.

A humanitarian relief shipment from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) arrived in Sri Lanka this afternoon (02) to support communities severely affected by the recent disaster.

In line with the Government’s programme to provide relief to those affected by the adverse weather conditions, the Sri Lanka Dawoodi Bohra community has donated Rs. 10 million to support relief efforts.

Sri Lanka continues to receive significant international support following the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah, which has resulted in hundreds of deaths and left hundreds of thousands displaced across the country.
