(April 30, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian)The United Nations says that Sri Lanka is at great risk and the top priority must be to get the civilians out as quickly as possible.
According to the UN news service, the UN has been urging the government for a further humanitarian pause for the sake of the people trapped in the Safe Zone.
UN Under Secretary for Humanitarian Affairs, Sir John Holmes addressing reporters in New York said that so far the government had not been willing to contemplate on the grounds that the LTTE simply exploits any pause to regroup militarily and continue their resistance.
The UN news service adds that during his meeting with the President, Homes had stressed the need for access for UN humanitarian staff to the combat zone to assess the conditions and the needs of the civilians.-Sri Lanka Guardian
