MALWANA, Sri Lanka: At least 153 people have been killed in Sri Lanka after landslides and flooding caused by Cyclone Ditwah, officials said on Saturday, with 191 others missing and more than half a million affected nationwide. More than 78,000 people have been moved to nearly 800 relief centers, mostly set up in schools, the Disaster Management Center said.
