"Sri Lankans continue to suffer deeply due to this conflict, and yesterday’s loss of life is a source of deepest concern. It is imperative that both sides in the conflict take all measures to fulfill their obligations under international law to protect civilians in this conflict. We have too often seen them fall short in this duty". Margareta Wahlstrom, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Acting Emergency Relief Coordinator.
