It was terrible for three days with continuously heavy raining affected entire eastern province, and it was very much effected Batticaloa and Kalmunai. Thousands of thousands people vacated their homes to welfare camps, some welfare camp also came under water on third day of this flooding situation again people displaced to some other safer places. Nearly four hundred thousand peoples resettled to safer places like schools, government buildings, Kovils, Mosques, churches. The situation very difficult to manage the urgent needs of the peoples like food, safer water, shelters, light and medicine etc.

Kalmunai Mental Health association (KAMHA) took an immediate action to address the people urgent humanitarian needs. International Medical Health Organization (IMHO- USA) send us US Dollars 4,000, with that help we addresses the people needs in smaller scale but it was very valuable help in this difficult situation.

Our executive members and staffs worked hard to provide the relief items to those who were very badly affected both Kalmunai and Batticaloa districts; our purpose was address immediate need of the affected people in Kalmunai and Batticaloa, it was very challenging job because most of our staffs also affected by the flooding and our team worked with commitment to make sure our relief work efficient.
