Hello Friends,
The troubles and travails faced by the displaced civilian population of the Northern mainland, Wanni is indeed a tragedy of our times.
I have in the past written extensively about the Wanni civilians who lived in tiger-controlled territory and described them as the wretched of the Wanni earth.
These people are now uprooted from their homes and compelled to live as “Internally Displaced Persons” in various camps described as welfare centers.
The conditions in these camps have been described as abysmal. The only silver lining is that by all accounts these conditions are improving though not perhaps at a pace desirable to the IDP’s
A redeeming feature in all this has been the silent, selfless service rendered at these camps by volunteers from all communities in Sri Lanka.
