Germany has announced emergency assistance worth approximately €500,000 to aid Sri Lanka in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah. The support is being provided under the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (EU UCPM) as part of the EU’s coordinated emergency response.
The initial needs were identified through the EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and delivered via the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), the aid package includes emergency shelter materials, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) supplies, personal protective equipment (PPE), and technical equipment to assist ongoing relief operations across the country.
A THW delegation is currently in Sri Lanka, working closely with national authorities to ensure the aid complements broader relief efforts.
Germany reiterated its solidarity with Sri Lanka, expressing its commitment to supporting the nation’s rebuilding and recovery, and extended condolences for the tragic loss of life and damage caused by the cyclone.
