Commendable Quote
  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

Persistent shelling into Poonahari areas disturb civilian life

Persistent artillery fire into areas near Poonahari has already killed two civilians during the month of April. The shelling continues to affect civilian life in the area. It has become dangerous to travel on the road between Poonahari and Mannar. Twenty four shells fell and exploded in the civilian areas frightening away farm workers, causing urgent farm work to be neglected.

Victim families of aerial bombing receive temporary shelters

Forty one families in the Uduppukulam settlement in the Mullaithivu district, who lost their homes in a Sri Lankan Air Force aerial bombing on 4 January 2008, were given new temporary shelters on 26 April.

The shelters were built for the forty one families by the Mullaithivu Peoples Welfare Society with funding assistance from international agencies.

These forty one families have been taking shelter in the Uduppukulam Tamil Vidhyalayam for the last nearly four months after losing their homes to the aerial bombardment.

This settlement in Uduppukulam is made up of very poor families. On 4 January 2008, in addition to losing their homes and movable property, thirteen members of this settlement were injured in the bombing. Among the injured were seven children.
