Sri Lanka Emergency Appeal
Sri Lanka’s Worst Disaster in History
1 million People Affected · 366 Missing · 25,000 Homes Destroyed
Flood waters have swallowed neighborhoods. Loved ones have been separated and are yet to be found. Families are isolated without medical attention, and danger increases by the hour. After days of relentless flooding, a cyclone struck Sri Lanka on November 27th. The storm intensified the already existing destruction overnight, pushing thousands of people from their homes and destroying entire communities.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake declared on Sunday that “It was the first time the entire country had been struck by such a natural disaster, the largest and most challenging in Sri Lanka’s history.”

“The floods came so fast we barely escaped. My children were shivering and terrified, huddled together on higher ground for hours. When LIFE arrived with dry clothes, food, and clean water, it was the first moment I felt they were truly safe.” - Shanika, Batticaloa
“When my house collapsed, I was injured and unable to walk. Roads were cut off, and no help could reach us for days. LIFE’s team was the first to arrive, bringing medical care and the supplies we urgently needed.” - Ramesh, Galle
