A man is seen pushing a makeshift raft along a flooded street in Ambatale on the outskirts of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Saturday after Cyclone Ditwah unleashed torrential rains and powerful winds across the country, triggering widespread flooding and deadly landslides, especially in central and eastern hilly regions. The death toll climbed to 132, while 176 others remain unaccounted for. According to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC), the severe weather has damaged over 15,000 houses and forced nearly 78,000 people to take refuge in government-run relief camps, said a report by AFP.
