Thousands of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in the Kilinochchi district are affected by heavy rains.
Around 15,600 people, who have been displaced since before the end of the armed conflict 6 years ago, are suffering due to the rains affecting their temporary shelters, in which they were resettled at the end of the armed conflict.
Concerns by the IDPs were heard by the Kilinochchi District Secretariat, who held a national disaster committee meeting.
The assistant director of the district disaster management committee, Mr Kogulathas, warned of further risk of flooding in Iranaimadu, Akkarayankulam, Thattuvankotti, Pannakandy, Murasumottai, Mukkomban, Poonary, and the Pachchilaipalli.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
