Documentary or official records (e.g., State Department/USAID announcements, aid disbursement records, or mission reports) show the U.S. delivered funds, personnel/expertise, or material resources to Sri Lanka for Cyclone Ditwah recovery.
Official U.S. government releases and contemporaneous reporting show the U.S. provided emergency life‑saving assistance (initially $2 million, later expanded), deployed airlift/logistics (C‑130/C‑130J aircraft and personnel), and provided equipment/expertise to support Sri Lanka’s Cyclone Ditwah response and recovery. Department of State press releases (Dec 3, 2025) and a later Sri Lanka National Day statement (Feb 3, 2026) explicitly state the U.S. provided life‑saving assistance, American expertise, and resources; U.S. Indo‑Pacific Command/Defense and reporting in Stars and Stripes document airlift and personnel deliveries. Verdict: True — credible primary sources confirm the U.S. provided the assistance, expertise, and material resources described.
