Over 410 Lives Lost. Help Victims Affected by Cyclone Ditwah Survive & Rebuild

Cyclone Ditwah, one of the strongest cyclones to hit South Asia in recent years. It has left a trail of devastation across Sri Lanka and India. Entire towns have been submerged, homes swept away, and families displaced overnight. The impact has been catastrophic, with the death toll rising by the hour.

Sri Lanka Faces Its Worst Cyclone Disaster in Years

Sri Lanka has been hit the hardest, with the cyclone bringing torrential rains, violent winds, and deadly flooding across multiple districts.

According to news reports:

• Over 410+ have lost their lives, including women, children, and the elderly.
  
  

• Thousands of families have been forced to flee collapsing homes and landslide-prone slopes.
  
  

• Entire villages in the central and southern regions have been cut off as bridges and major roads were washed away.
  
  

• Power lines are down, communication has collapsed in several districts, and rescue teams are struggling to reach remote communities.

“The water rose within minutes. We climbed onto the roof with our two children as the house collapsed beneath us,” said a survivor from Ratnapura.

Families who once had stable homes, farms, and livelihoods are now left with nothing but the clothes they escaped with.

Cyclone Ditwah Has Also Ravaged Parts of India

As Cyclone Ditwah moved north-west, it brought relentless rainfall and destructive winds to parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Andaman region:

• Coastal villages were flooded within hours
  
  

• Fishing boats, huts, and small shops were destroyed
  
  

• Thousands were relocated to temporary shelters
  
  

• Many families lost livestock, crops, and their only source of income

For vulnerable communities already living on the edge, this cyclone has pushed them into a full-blown humanitarian crisis.
