Heavy rains between 14 and 17 August resulted in the inundation of several zones in Menik Farm. Zone 4 in Menik Farm was the most seriously affected with estimates of up to 1,925 shelters damaged or destroyed. (OCHA, 17 Aug 2009) The Sri Lanka government proceeded with arrangements to re-settle at least 50,000 IDPs from Vavuniya relief camps. (Govt. of Sri Lanka, 27 Aug 2009) On 4 October, the Minister of Resettlement and Disaster Relief Services Rishad Bathiudeen stated that approximately 10,000 IDPs who lived in Zones 2 and 4 of Menik Farm would be relocated to Zone 6, which was less vulnerable to floods during the upcoming monsoons because of its comparatively higher elevation.
