At least 400 people are now confirmed to have died when a powerful cyclone hit Sri Lanka.

Residents in the central mountain town of Kandy told Sky News they were given little warning the storm was about to hit - and had no time to evacuate.

They have received little help from authorities -and even had to carry away the bodies of the dead themselves.
