Sri Lanka recovers from devastating floods


Sri Lankans recovering from devastating floods are bracing themselves for more rain as emergency teams rush to deliver aid. Floodwaters receded on Sunday but many villages were still inundated. At least 151 people have been killed and nearly 500,000 displaced in the flooding and mudslides triggered by heavy rains on Friday. Another 111 people are still missing, officials said. Military boats and helicopters are helping rescuers. Sri Lanka's Daily Mirror newspaper said a second Indian naval ship, the INS Shardul, had arrived in Colombo with relief supplies and inflatable boats. The INS Kirch arrived on Saturday. Correspondents say rescue workers are using a break in the weather to deliver much-needed aid to the worst-hit areas.
