The internal conflict of the country has left the dark memories
for the people. Remembering dark memories of the conflict, the groups of people
are still living in the internal displaced camp in Urumpirai, Saraswathi,
Puliyadi and Yogapuram in Jaffna district. Although the government declared the
victory of war in 2009, some affected people are still living above internal
displaced camps without sufficient infrastructure facilities. The life of the most vulnerable people in the
camps became the worst situation because of out breaking the Corona pandemic in
the country. Jaffna district was identified one of the high risk district of the
country at the beginning stage. Camp people should be supported because they
are also part of the Sri Lankan citizen.
Jaffna District Fisheries Solidarity with the collaboration of
Green Future Nation Foundation organized an event being gathered the people of
internally displaced camps at the office premises of Jaffna District Fisheries
Solidarity on 15 May 2020. It opened the discussion for identifying the
existing situation of the camp people. The school bags were distributed to the
children of the member families of
Jaffna District Fisheries Solidarity. Mr. Imbanayagam, District
Coordinator, other animators of the organization, representatives of Green
Future Nation Foundation, children, youth and people from the camps
participated in the gathering.
