UNICEF too calls on LTTE to release civilians

 
The best thing for the civilians trapped in Vanni is that the LTTE allows them to move freely and enter a safe area where they can receive appropriate support, said UNICEF on Friday (January 23).

"I call upon the LTTE to meet its responsibilities and guarantee freedom of movement to the civilian population in the Vanni," said UNICEF's Representative, Philippe Duamelle.

The UNICEF said moment they have a very large number of people, including tens of thousands of children.

The government recently expanded the existing safe zone to facilitate civilian movement from the Wanni.
