At least 12 individuals have lost their lives in Sri Lanka due to devastating flooding and landslides. Rescue teams are tirelessly working to find those still missing.
Authorities reported that the robust yet gradually progressing storm is moving towards India, forecasting wind gusts of up to 70 km/h upon making landfall.
Over 250,000 residents in Sri Lanka have been compelled to evacuate their homes as torrential rains and severe flooding wreak havoc in eastern and central regions.
Experts argue that climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of catastrophic weather events like these floods and landslides across South Asia.
