The death toll due to heavy rains accompanied by stormy winds in Sri Lanka’s southern coastal areas rose to 20.
Heavy rains and stormy winds that affected several districts in Sri Lanka have affected more than 60,000 people while displacing over 6000 persons.
The Sri Lanka Disaster Management Centre (DMC) said that 66286 people of 16837 families have been affected, the death toll rose to 20 with 43 persons still reported missing. Most of the missing persons are reported to be fishermen who went on fishing on the fateful day.
The Sri Lanka Red Cross branches in Matara and Galle, the worst affected districts, swung into action immediately assisting with search and rescue, first aid, remving trees and debris and relief supplies. This morning I spoke to the Acting President of the Sri Lanka Red Cross Baratha Jonikkuhewa who is also Chairman of the Matara Branch. "The winds were terrifying and caused a huge amount of damage in Matara district" he said. " We mobilised our volunteers quickly and were able to provide immediate relief to people who lost everything," he said.

The DMC also said 737 houses have been fully damaged while 6400 partially. 6400 persons who were displaced due to bad weather especially in the southern Matara and Galle districts have been housed in seven temporary camps.
Meanwhile the Department of Irrigation said that 10 main tanks (articial lakes) in several districts are overflowing.

The Met Department forecasts the rainy weather will continue at least for another week.
We are expecting full reports and photos from Matara and Galkle branches this afternoon.
