An year has almost run its course and many people in Peraliya are still waiting to receive the aid that was promised for rebuilding. Monthly assistance allowances are not being given regularly as promised, according to the villagers. Many villagers continue to remain in corrugated-iron roofed wooden transitional shelters. Most men in this fishing village suffer from lack of fishing jobs and other employment. The 100 meter buffer zone to rebuild has aggravated the problem of finding permanent housing since many people do not want to move, say the people of Peraliya.
