Tamil civilians along FDL villages pay dearly
Tamil civilians of the villages all along the southern Vanni FDL are paying dearly for the constant shelling by the Sri Lanka military. Since the Sri Lanka intensified its attacks on Vanni, thousands of families have displaced from their homes due to the shelling by the Sri Lanka military.
 The plight of these people without adequate assistance, also due to the blockades on essential items placed by the military, is making the lives of the displaced people a real misery. Shelling has injured people in Alampil; disturbed schools; and destroyed houses and other property. Shelling near Madhu has injured IDPs in camps injuring people including children. In Adampan in the Mannar district farmers abandoned thousands of acres of cultivated rice fields when they were forced to displace. These fields are now ready for harvesting but the owners are unable to harvest the rice. Instead, shells fired by the Sri Lanka military regularly fall into this fields ready for harvest destroying the crops. Nedunkerni in LTTE administered Vavuniya is another village that has been made inaccessible due to constant threat of claymore attacks by the Sri Lanka military. The inaccessibility of this office hampers the regular work of schools that is served by this office. Several claymore attacks on this road have targeted a vehicle belonging to the agriculture department, an ambulance, and other vehicles, killing scores of employees including doctors and nurses.
