Flood havoc - Relief for flood- hit: [1]

: The heavy deluge experienced during the last couple of days which caused flooding and landslides has wreaked havoc in several parts of the country, leaving at least four people dead and more than 50,000 affected. In addition around 8,000 families were reported as displaced by yesterday. Weathermen warned yesterday that there was a risk of more landslides and floods as heavy rains would accompany the onset of Southwest Monsoon, expected to get established over the island within the next two days.
