Sri Lanka airlifts aid to communities devastated by huge floods

In December 2025, the Sri Lanka Air Force initiated an airlift operation to deliver essential supplies to communities severely impacted by widespread flooding and mudslides. Helicopters are being used to transport food and clean water to areas that have been cut off due to the disaster. The aid is intended to provide relief to residents stranded and isolated by the floodwaters. The operation aims to address the immediate needs of those affected by the devastating natural events. Al Jazeera is reporting on the aid missions.
