Cyclone Ditwah has caused massive destruction in Sri Lanka, with torrential rains leading to floods and landslides that have claimed at least 56 lives

India has dispatched urgent flood relief to Sri Lanka in response to the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah. The aid, delivered from Indian naval ships, includes food supplies and survival necessities.

India airlifts 21 tonnes of relief, 80+ NDRF personnel, and critical supplies to Sri Lanka after Cyclone Ditwah, supporting thousands affected by floods and landslides.

The series against Sri Lanka will also be India’s first international outing after winning their maiden Womens ODI World Cup title in Navi Mumbai earlier this month.

The weather bureau warned that even more rain—over 200 mm—was likely, although Ditwah was expected to move away from the island by late Saturday.
