Cyclone Ditwah has ravaged Sri Lanka, impacting millions and causing extensive damage estimated at $4 billion, equivalent to 4% of the nation's GDP. The storm disrupted livelihoods, crippled essential services, and exacerbated the country's existing economic crisis. The infrastructure damage is reportedly more severe than that of the 2004 tsunami, posing significant challenges to recovery efforts. The government is struggling to provide adequate support to affected families due to the ongoing economic constraints.
