World Concern is working with the International Red Cross right now, helping many civilians who were wounded in a Sri Lanka war zone.
Working in hospitals just outside the conflict area, World Concern disaster response experts are providing the wounded with meals, dining supplies, bedding, toiletries and clothing.
Additionally, we’re supporting hospital staff with food, beds and other services to help them cope with the sudden influx of patients.
Sri Lanka is an island nation just off the southeastern coast of India.
It has endured a 25-year civil war, where some members of the Tamil ethnic minority, the Tamil Tigers, have been fighting for autonomy.
Within the last few months, Sri Lanka’s government says it has forced the rebels into a widespread retreat, and expects to soon end the longstanding war.
According to the Associated Press, the war has killed about 70,000 people.
