Colombo, LTTE bicker over relief supplies
By V.S. Sambandan
//
The Government charged the Tigers with misinformation and the LTTE maintained that the supplies do not trickle down to the affected. However, a cursory glance at official figures reveals a skewed supply in favour of the Tamil-majority north-eastern districts, compared to the Sinhalese and Muslim areas along southern coastline. Official figures show that an overwhelming 93.18 per cent of the dry rations was for the northern and eastern districts, with the three southern districts receiving a mere 6.82 per cent.

Murali leads from the front
January 5, 2005
//
"Back behind the wheel, Murali was even more agitated than when he'd arrived. Imodium had steadied his bowels but the policeman had stirred him up inside. Like many, he had heard rumours that some aid was being siphoned off into local markets, and he was fearful about corruption: "A major concern at the moment is possible corruption. Distrust between different ethnic and religious communities appears to be hampering the distribution of the aid, which is now in the government stores." But there are also logistical problems, according to Murali: "Clearly, some of the Government Administrators also need to have more smaller vehicles to help the smooth and swift distribution of aid."

Relief Supplies Delayed in Sri Lanka - Aid Worker
By Caroline Gammell, PA, in Colombo, Sri Lanka

Chris Weeks, director of Crisis Resource Network, a Dubai-based organisation helping to co-ordinate supplies being flown into the country, said attempts to access the aircraft had proved fruitless.
“There is no sign that the Sri Lankan air force are doing anything.
“They have been pretty obstructive and I am not very pleased with them.”
Mr Weeks said the planes had been impounded before making a single flight and their isolation was politically motivated by tensions between the government and the separatist Tamil Tigers.
The ceasefire, which was agreed three years ago after 20 years of war, was on shaky ground when the treacherous waves devastated the island.
“The Sri Lankan air force are very powerful because of the war and they have a lot of control,” he said.
“They say they want to check that the aid is not going to any Tamil organisation.
“The stuff (to be loaded on to the planes) was actually from the UN, it was completely legitimate and this is the air force’s way of keeping control.”
Mr Weeks said he was meeting the Sri Lankan government on a daily basis but to little effect.
“This doesn’t do any good, they make excuses, the air force make excuses and it is pretty depressing.”
Canadian and American helicopters are flying aid to more isolated parts of the island, but can only carry two tonnes – a third of the load of the seaplanes.
“Psychologically it is quite good but it is not really effective,” said Mr Weeks.
