Cyclone Ditwah swept northward across Sri Lanka on Friday (November 28), leaving 69 people dead, according to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC).

Most deaths were caused by landslides triggered by more than 300mm (12 inches) of rainfall in the eastern and central regions, according to officials.

Nearly 44,000 people were affected nationwide, and many sought refuge in schools and public shelters, according to the DMC.

The Irrigation Department said it expected the floods that have already affected countless areas across southern and eastern Sri Lanka, including many parts of the capital, Colombo, to spread even further.
