The United Arab Emirates has launched an urgent humanitarian operation to support communities affected by the severe floods and landslides across Sri Lanka.
Announced on December 1, 2025, the relief effort is being coordinated through the Joint Operations Command, the UAE Aid Agency, and the Emirates Red Crescent.
As part of the response, search and rescue teams from Abu Dhabi Civil Defence have been deployed to disaster-hit areas, while essential relief supplies—including food items and critical shelter materials—are being delivered to those in need.
Specialised teams are working closely with local authorities in the worst-affected regions to reach stranded residents and provide immediate emergency assistance.
The UAE has also committed to continuing the delivery of humanitarian aid and shelter materials to ease the suffering of affected families and accelerate recovery and stabilisation efforts.
The comprehensive relief package includes access to food, medicine, clothing, and safe shelter for displaced individuals and families.
