Issuing a statement,  the United National Party says that only 12 percent of the victims of the flooding and landslides triggered by the heavy downpours, have access to shelter. The statement reads that many of the victims have no access to safe drinking water or sanitation and others are without food.

The UNP calls on the government, civil Society and all the people of Sri Lanka to participate in a national effort to aid the flood victims.
