Help Southeast Asia Survive Deadly Floods & Landslides

On 28 November, Cyclone Ditwah struck Sri Lanka, unleashing devastating floods and deadly landslides. Entire communities have been uprooted, and children are among the most vulnerable, facing risks to their health, safety, and education as essential services collapse.

• 1.5 million people are affected, including 275,000 children, with nearly 233,015 people displaced.
• Clean water and health facilities have been severely damaged, heightening the risk of disease.
• Schools have been destroyed, threatening children’s learning and wellbeing.

UNICEF is on the ground, responding despite access constraints:
• Delivering safe drinking water to emergency shelters.
• Providing nutrition and education supplies to authorities.
• Setting up child-friendly spaces and psychosocial support for displaced children.

But the needs are immense, and we urgently require donations to scale up life-saving assistance.
