As part of the urgent international response to Sri Lanka’s devastating landslides and floods, the UAE Search and Rescue Team is on the ground, executing vital humanitarian missions. Their work underscores a global effort to aid communities in crisis.
Today, their mission led them into the heart of the destruction: Zone 2 in the Akurana DS area of Kandy District. This region, encompassing Rambuk-ela and Vilanagama, is among the hardest-hit. The scene they encountered was one of profound loss—a landslide originating on a mountain peak had sheared away more than sixteen homes, sweeping them down into the valley below.
Facing this stark reality, the team moved into action without delay. Specialized equipment and highly trained K9 units were deployed to conduct a systematic search of the treacherous area. Undeterred by the unstable terrain and significant hazards, the team worked with meticulous care, combing through the site in a race against time.
