Sri Lanka floods 2011
Since the flooding in the north of Sri Lanka in January 2011, many people have had to be evacuated to schools and various community centres and the church have been heavily involved in bringing them immediate relief. Now the flood waters have subsided, there are the subsequent problems. Many poor people had their houses destroyed and consequently some had almost no home to return to. Over 400,000 acres of paddy (rice) lands have been destroyed. Many people take loans (bank, pawn their jewellery, borrow money from friends etc) and invest a lot of money in the cultivation hoping to pay them back when they collect the harvest. Now that the cultivation has been destroyed, many of them are in great difficultly.
