This is solid reporting on a real crisis. Sri Lanka was already devastated by Cyclone Ditwah last November (643 dead, infrastructure damage exceeding the 2004 tsunami) and recovering from a 2022 economic collapse. The Iran-Israel war is making it exponentially worse — fuel prices are spiking, the government had to ration energy and introduce a 4-day work week, and 165,000+ people still lack permanent housing. The article uses the 'triple blow' framing accurately: floods, economic fallout from the Iran war, and now looming drought. What matters: small island economies are extremely vulnerable to global energy shocks, and Sri Lanka's already-thin recovery resources are being stretched to the breaking point.
