TRO Flood Appeal

Several days of torrential rains have produced extensive flooding in widespread areas in the NorthEastern Province in Sri Lanka. Mullaithivu town, Puthukudyiruppu,(Mullaithivu), Kilinochchi, Vadamaratchi East, and Trincomalee are all badly affected.

Many of these same places were hit hard by the Tsunami of 2005,and 3200 people living in transitional shelters are homeless again,with their huts totally destroyed.

TRO urgently needs funds to provide:

1) Plastic roofing sheets
2) Tarpaulin sheets
3) Cooked food and non food relief items
4) Hygiene needs for women and children and makeshift toilets

Continued heavy rain is forecast for at least  the next 48 hours and the situation is expected to get worse soon.

K.P. Regi, Executive Director of TRO, has issued an urgent appeal that they are running out of funds and need help.
