    Who's affected by the crisis in Sri Lanka?

    The island nation of Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis since its independence in 1948. The root cause of the country’s economic problem is its inability to pay back its debt, which runs to trillions of dollars because its foreign reserves are at an all-time low. But what exactly does this mean? Who does it affect the most? And how are those most affected reimagining their lives right now? In order to get answers to these questions and a better understanding of the ground situation, our host Damini speaks with Sarala Emmanuel, a development practitioner, and researcher based in Batticaloa, eastern Sri Lanka.
