Assistance to flood victims in Sri Lanka

Last updated: 24/01/2011 // Norway is to give NOK 6 million (Lkr 114 million) in assistance to the flood victims in Sri Lanka.

“There are humanitarian needs. We want to do what we can to assist the flood victims at this challenging time,” said Ambassador Hilde Haraldstad.

 

Norway’s contribution of NOK 6 million (Lkr 114 million) is being channeled through UNICEF and the Norwegian Refugee Council. Both of these organisations are working in some of the worst-hit areas, and their efforts to distribute emergency relief are already well under way.  They are providing clean drinking water, access to food and shelter.
