Heavy floods and landslides triggered by the worst rainfall since 1970s have killed over 90 people and left 110 missing in Sri lanka, officials said on Friday, warning the situation could get worse.
Over 20,000 people have been displaced in seven districts as the south western monsoon caused havoc, destroying hundreds of homes and cutting off several roads.
“We have seen worst rainfall since the 1970s,” said Dunesh Gankanada, deputy Minister of Disaster Management Centre.
