Background
Sri Lanka faces catastrophic floods and landslides amid an economic crisis. Tens of thousands are displaced, urgently needing food, water, medical care, and shelter. Current UK aid (£1M) is far below what other disasters received. Fair, substantial support is vital to rebuild lives, homes, schools, hospitals, and essential infrastructure. The UK has a moral duty to act, given historic ties, Commonwealth solidarity, and the UK Sri Lankan community deeply connected to their homeland
