Some flood-affected families living in risky situations View(s):By Ishu BandaraMore than 20 days after the flooding caused by cyclone Ditwah, many people living in the worst affected areas are still stranded and vulnerable. About 20 houses are located close to the river, and authorities say it is no longer an area safe to live in. The navy came from the river side and asked us to evacuate, and now we are living with relatives. Around 1,400 families were submerged in our area, but those on our road have not received any aid, not even the promised Rs. They sleep on the floor in the living area, as the only bedroom is in a part of the house that is already sinking and developing dangerous cracks in the walls.
