SRI LANKA: Challenges In Providing Relief In Times Of Conflict

Since Sri Lanka’s 2002 cease-fire between the army and the Tamil Tigers, many Internally Displaced People (IDP) in the north and east of the country have been impacted by one calamity after another – war, floods, tsunami and again war – without having the chance to fully recover.

The limited food supply in the conflict-affected areas has caused many problems for the IDPs, as well as for the rest of the communities. Medicine is also scarce and the price of the few available items has escalated beyond the reach of most people. Abductions are reported daily. PWRDF partner, the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka (NCCSL), has been carrying out emergency relief distributions to assist the most vulnerable communities under challenging and dangerous conditions.

Please PRAY for peace in Sri Lanka and the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka as they continue to assist the affected communities.
