Sri Lanka: UNHCR concerned over the deteriorating situation in east 09 Jan 2009 11:49:54 GMT Source: UNHCR Reuters and AlertNet are not responsible for the content of this article or for any external internet sites. The views expressed are the author`s alone. UNHCR is concerned over the deteriorating situation in Sri Lanka`s east following a significant increase in the number of killings, abductions and injuries in areas of return during the last few months. In November alone, the United Nations recorded 24 civilian deaths in the Batticaloa district. We`re also worried about the negative impact these security incidents may have on the sustainability of the return process. Most of the more than 200,000 people displaced during fighting between government forces and the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam (LTTE) in the eastern districts of Trincomalee and Batticaloa have returned home over the past two years. UNHCR and other humanitarian agencies have been supporting the government in reintegration programmes, principally in shelter and quick impact community based livelihood programmes and through the provision of non-food relief items. |
