Flooding in Sri Lanka
At least 16 people have died in floods and mudslides in Sri Lanka following more than a week of heavy rain, officials have communicated.
The disaster management center said more than 5,000 people have been displaced from their homes and have taken shelter in relatives' homes or in government-run relief centers.
The months of October and November are usually monsoon season in the northeastern part of Sri Lanka. However, higher-than-usual rainfall has been reported in most parts of the country this year.
