"The UAE has dispatched rescue teams and humanitarian aid to Sri Lanka after the devastating floods and landslides there, following directives by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Footage shows teams preparing aid shipments, with signs reading “UAE response to those affected by floods and landslides in Sri Lanka.” “We have provided urgent humanitarian aid and will send a specialised search and rescue team to support the people of Sri Lanka in the wake of the floods that hit the island nation,” explained a member of the aid mission. “This initiative stems from the UAE's commitment to supporting affected countries by providing urgent relief in times of crisis and disaster." According to the Emirati media, the emergency response is being carried out by the Joint Operations Command, the Emirates International Aid Agency, and the Emirates Red Crescent, and involves search and rescue operations by teams from the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority. Relief efforts also include delivery of food supplies and essential shelter to communities affected by the severe weather. The disaster has killed at least 355 people in Sri Lanka, with at least 366 still missing, and impacted more than a million others. Hundreds of homes were partially or completely destroyed, with major disruptions to infrastructure across several districts. "
