Two weeks after ordering the UN and other humanitarian agencies out of the Wanni, the Government has now decided to allow UN officials to escort food convoys to LTTE-controlled areas.
UN officials would lead a convoy of some 80 trucks from Thursday, Essential Services Comissioner S.B. Divaratna told The Sunday Times. They would go from Vavuniya to three towns in the Wanni — Mullaitivu, Tharmapuram and Puthukudiyiruppu, he said. |
