Humanitarian Needs and Response Shelter: In Batticaloa and Ampara Districts flood displaced people residing in schools were requested to leave by 17 January to facilitate the reopening of schools. While many families are in a position to return to their residences, some families have lost their homes made of local materials, such as mud bricks. Alternative arrangements are being sought. At the Sri Lankan Government s request, the Chinese Government is looking into the possibility of providing roofing material to the affected families to rebuild their homes. NFI: UMCOR, IFRC, ZOA, WVI and SLRCS, among others, distributed NFI and dry food ration stocks to floodaffected communities in Batticaloa District. NRC, Islamic Relief Worldwide, and LRSC, among others, handed out NFI and dry foods to Ampara District. IOM provided logistical support to distribution in both areas. In addition, DRC has mobilized US$ 25,000 for initial assistance to people affected by the floods living in Trincomalee District. IOM is procuring 300 NFI full kits (LKR 7,000 each) at an approximate total cost of US$ 20,000. In Mullaitivu District, a rapid assessment has identified the following needs: approx. 11,490 cooking sets, 11,073 each of mosquito nets, hurricane lamps, towels and bed sheets, 3,678 infant sets, 14,778 women s sanitary items, 53,995 each of candles, bars of soap and mosquito coils.

Instructions have been issued, by the Assistant Commissioner for Local Government, to all urban councils and Pradeshiya Sabhas to carry out waste disposal in evacuation sites. Mobile clinics have been carried out in most areas of Trincomalee District, including by boat in Eachchilampattu and Kinniya.
