Heavy rain caused serious floods and landslides in several Asian countries. The rain came from big storms. Almost one thousand people have died.
The governments of Sri Lanka and Indonesia are using their armies to help. They are rescuing people and sending food and water. Many towns are cut off by the water. Sri Lanka asked other countries for help. They say this is their worst natural disaster in twenty years.
In Indonesia, at least 442 people died. More than 400 people are missing. The government sent navy ships with supplies and doctors. The president said the worst is maybe over, but sending aid is very urgent now.
In Sri Lanka, 334 people died. The president declared a state of emergency. The military is using helicopters to save people.
The floods destroyed many roads and houses. A woman in Indonesia lost her home and her shop. She said, "Nothing remains." Many thousands of people now have no home.
The most important job now is to save lives and stop diseases. The countries will need a long time and a lot of money to recover.
