Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia are facing devastating floods that have killed more than 1,100 people and displaced millions, prompting large-scale military rescue operations. Indonesia and Sri Lanka are the worst affected, with blocked roads, damaged infrastructure, and missing persons complicating relief efforts. Authorities across the region warn that climate-driven extreme weather is intensifying these disasters, while schools, homes, and public services rema

Cyclone Ditwa rapidly intensified over unusually warm Bay of Bengal waters, bringing record rainfall, floods, and landslides across Sri Lanka. Weak drainage systems, unplanned land use, and gaps in emergency preparedness greatly worsened the impact. The disaster highlights Sri Lanka’s urgent need for stronger climate-resilient infrastructure, early-warning systems, and sustainable land management.

Sri Lanka is grieving with over a hundred lives lost, dozens still missing, and thousands of families displaced after Cyclone Ditwah, the country is experiencing one of the darkest moments in its recent history. Yet the government’s response — especially the reaction of Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya has sparked intense public outrage.

Sri Lanka’s Kandy district has been hit by severe landslides triggered by continuous heavy rainfall, leaving several areas buried under earth and debris. Rescue teams are still searching for missing residents as unstable, rain-soaked slopes pose a high risk of additional collapses. Authorities warn that worsening weather conditions could further complicate relief efforts across the central province.

Sri Lanka’s merchandise exports remained nearly unchanged in October 2025, reflecting a marginal 0.02% rise despite declines in major industries like apparel and tea. Strong growth in coconut-based products was not enough to offset reduced export earnings from petroleum, rubber, boats, and spices. The slowdown in key markets such as the United States and India further highlights the challenges facing the country’s export sector.
