Action in Sri Lanka

Humanitarian aid must be delivered to the Tamil people

Sir, I agree that there should be an immediate, unconditional ceasefire by both sides in Sri Lanka (Bronwen Maddox, World Briefing, Feb 12). However, I also believe that the time has come for the UN Secretary- General, Ban Ki Moon, to demand that a United Nations peacekeeping mission be allowed access to the country to avoid a civilian bloodbath.

Reports from the country say that the remaining doctors and medical staff in the LTTE (Tamil Tiger)-controlled area in the north of Sri Lanka have been ordered to leave. The Sri Lankan Government has urged Tamil civilians to come over to its side, but there is a natural reluctance and fear of such a move. Equally there are stories suggesting that the LTTE will shoot anyone who tries to escape from the remaining area under its control.

The Tamil people have seen so much death and destruction. They are terrified of Sri Lankan troops and their “holding camps”, not to mention their different language. There could be as many as 250,000 men, women and children massacred in the next few days, unless the international community acts immediately.

In addition, I am calling on the United Nations and the international community as a whole, to demand that the Sri Lankan Government allow humanitarian aid to these people and full access for the world press and media corps. Time is running out. This help must be delivered as a priority.
