In Gampola, rising floodwaters from the Mahaweli River contaminated large stocks of rice and essential food items, forcing traders to dispose of supplies that were no longer safe for human consumption. This photograph captures a moment along a flooded street where damaged rice stocks are piled outside closed shops, reflecting the economic hardship faced by small-scale traders in the aftermath of the disaster. 📸 Photo: Ravindra Weerasinghe | Freelance Photojournalist Losses on a Cart Cyclone Dithwa – Sri Lanka Published in: Sunday Observer Date: 14 December 2025
