Out of those affected, over 11,000 people were evacuated to safe locations as their homes were inundated due to continuous rains, Sri Lanka's Disaster Management Centre was cited as saying by Xinhua news agency.

Rescuers in Sri Lanka today pulled out more bodies buried in the mudslides triggered by the country's worst torrential rains in 14 years, taking the number of deaths to 164. The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) said 104 people are still missing while 88 remain in hospital.

In the worst flood that Sri Lanka has seen since 2003, over 90 people killed and over 100 missing. According to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC), about 20,000 people were driven out of their homes both in the south and western parts of the country.

Flooding and landslides killed at least 91 people and left another 110 missing in Sri Lanka as the monsoon set in Friday, dumping record rainfalls in many parts of the island, authorities said.

Rescuers on Sunday pulled out 23 more bodies from the debris of disastrous landslides in Sri Lanka, taking the toll to 92 while over 100 people remained missing in floods triggered by rains even as relief aid poured in from across the world, including India, for lakhs displaced.

Heavy rains disrupted a massive search on Thursday for scores of people feared buried in a landslide on a Sri Lankan tea estate, further dimming prospects of finding anyone alive.

Heavy rains followed by floods and landslides claimed 14 lives in Sri Lanka Monday, the country's disaster management centre said.

Flash floods have killed at least 25 people in Sri Lanka and left more than a quarter of a million marooned in their homes, disaster officials said on Thursday.

Sri Lanka lifted an evacuation order as a cyclone heading towards the island changed course early on Tuesday and headed towards neighbouring India, the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) said.

Sri Lanka issued a tsunami warning across the island on Wednesday and the disaster management centre asked residents on the coast to move inland to avoid being hit by any large waves.
