The Sri Lankan Army has praised the UAE’s search and rescue team for its speed, precision and ability to operate in challenging conditions as it continues missions in areas hit by floods and landslides.
On Tuesday the team found another body in the Wattegama area, bringing the total number of bodies recovered to 19 since operations began.
The search in the area was temporarily suspended due to heavy rainfall and landslides, and operations were set to resume on Wednesday morning to continue searching for the missing.
The team is using advanced equipment and specialised search dogs to comb through sites and reach missing persons under rubble and soil, as part of the UAE’s urgent response to support Sri Lanka.
