Sri Lanka Faces La Nina's Wrath: Devastating Floods leave 21 dead, One million displaced

Some of my Sri Lankan friends requested this post to highlight the humanitarian crisis in the country that every day is escalating into almost the scale of the Tsunami disaster.

The troubles of Tamil population in East Sri Lanka appears never ending. The heaviest rain in 18 years flooded Sri Lanka left about 11 dead. Mudslides caused by heavy rains and floods in Sri Lanka have additionally killed around ten people.  These floods were especially bad news for people in the east, who in recent years have also endured a civil war and a tsunami. The Disaster Management Center said more than 1 million becoming homeless.

As humanitarian agencies get ready to swing into action, we hope that this post will provide a preliminary insight on the scale and challenges of the response and also what climatic factors is responsible for nightmarish floods simultaneously in Australia, Brazil and Sri Lanka.
