Torrential rains and tropical storms in late November 2025 caused widespread flooding and landslides across Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia, resulting in over 1,000 deaths. Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto is focusing on delivering aid to isolated villages in North Sumatra, deploying helicopters and ships, but faces pressure to declare a national emergency. Sri Lanka, impacted by Cyclone Ditwah, has declared an emergency and is seeking international assistance to reach stranded people. Rescue efforts are underway in affected regions, including Sungai Nyalo village in Indonesia, where many residents are choosing to remain in their damaged homes. The disaster has left thousands displaced and in need of aid.
