Situation Overview
As the fourth major storm of the 2025 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Ditwah engulfed entire communities underwater throughout Sri Lanka, while also causing destruction in Southern Indian.
Cyclone Ditwah made landfall in Sri Lanka on November 28, unleashing four days of torrential rain that resulted in extensive flooding and over 200 landslides. This catastrophic cyclone, one of the country’s deadliest and most challenging natural disasters in years, impacted 1.5 million people across all 25 districts of the country and destroyed or damaged over 40,000 homes—hundreds are missing and hundreds of lives have been lost. In some districts, more than 300mm of rain fell in 24 hours, rapidly displacing hundreds of thousands.Â
