More than 900,000 people have been affected as a result of continuous rains in the Eastern, Northern and Central provinces of Sri Lanka. As the scale of the flood increases, Oxfam is expanding its rapid response in Eastern Sri Lanka to help the thousands affected, providing hygiene kits, tarpaulins, cooked food and bottled water to approximately 17,000 people in Batticaloa, Trincomalee and Ampara districts.
