The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the agency's humanitarian wings were on standby to help Sri Lanka said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric on Wednesday.
Srilanka has been badly affected due to heavy rains that has hit much of the country over the past few weeks causing landslides.
"The National Disaster Management Center reports that at least six people have died, 300 people are missing and 150 houses are destroyed," said a UN spokesman.
