Deaths In Sri Lanka Floods

The death toll in Sri Lanka's flood has reached 202 while 94 people are missing in the island nation's worst torrential rains since 2003 that displaced nearly half-a-million people.

Indian Navy diving and medical teams joined rescue efforts of Sri Lankan authorities in flood-hit regions as the death toll in the country's worst torrential rains since 2003 climbed today to 193.

Rescuers in Sri Lanka today pulled out more bodies buried in the mudslides triggered by the country's worst torrential rains in 14 years, taking the number of deaths to 164. The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) said 104 people are still missing while 88 remain in hospital.

Flooding and landslides killed at least 91 people and left another 110 missing in Sri Lanka as the monsoon set in Friday, dumping record rainfalls in many parts of the island, authorities said.

Sri Lankan soldiers pulled more bodies from landslides and distributed food and water Sunday to hundreds of thousands forced into shelters after major floods hit the island.

Sri Lanka's government has raised the death toll from landslides and heavy flooding around the island nation to 73, as soldiers continue searching for scores of people missing since deadly landslides struck the hill country several days ago.

Rescue workers recovered 16 bodies buried in mudslides caused by heavy rains in central Sri Lanka, raising the death toll due to bad weather to 27, government officials said on Wednesday. Rescue work was continuing as more rain was forecast.
