United Nations Offers Support to Humanitarian Efforts in Sri Lanka

The United Nations Human Rights Council has offered to assist Sri Lanka in its efforts to provide humanitarian aid to those displaced from the recent military offensive against the Tamil Tigers.

 

Sri Lanka has been criticized by human rights groups for the conditions of several camps that have been built for the nearly 300,000 Tamils who lost their homes in the war. The UN has attempted to step in and offer support yet they did not demand access to the camps where the Tamils are now staying.

 

The Sri Lankan military has refused to allow any of the Tamils staying in the camps to leave, saying they still have to ensure there are no rebels.

 

As part of the resolution to offer support the UN Human Rights Council also appealed to the international community to provide financial help to Sri Lanka as it rebuilds homes and infrastructure destroyed by the offensive.
