Makeshift shelter.
We visited St. Mary's Catholic Church in nearby Dehiwela that has turned its school into a temporary shelter for families who lost their homes. On the east coast especially, many don't have even this decent a home; there's major concern that the crowded conditions of camps for the displaced will breed epidemics.
