U.N seeks full access to Sri Lankan refugee camps

By: Kelsey Gierzynski

With the large amounts of poeple located in camps that have fell victim to the civil war going on in Sri Lanka, the U.N has now come out saying they want to be able to go into these camps. The U.N says that there are many injured and suffering people in these camps and that they want the access to deliver aid to these people. The government said that the United Nations is able to access these camps now in order to deliver the aid needed by the poeple. However, the aid that the United Nations is alowed to give is limited. The government said they want the access to remain limited because they believe there are still some rebel groups around that are going to try to smuggle young men out of these camps. They believe that NGO's were invovled in a plot like this. The government said that they would let aid get in that would help people with their basic needs.
