This is unbelievable, what else could go wrong for the people there?
Officials said at least 15 camps sheltering about 30,000 people have been hit.
Herath Abeyweera, district chief, said 330 millimetres of rain had fallen overnight and crippled the relief operations.
He said a team of 20 Japanese medical staff have been prevented from reaching camps which are more than a metre underwater and relief convoys have been held up by the floods.
