More on LTTE misuse of food destined for children

UN denounces misuse of food destined for children

COLOMBO, 12 March 2009 (IRIN) - The UN has deplored the diversion of high-energy therapeutic food supplies intended for severely malnourished children to Liberation Tigers of Tamils Eelam (LTTE) fighters in combat zones in Sri Lanka’s north.

A statement released on 11 March by the UN country office in Sri Lanka said that BP-100 high-energy biscuits found in the possession of a dead Tamil Tiger came from supplies targeted at severely malnourished children.

“The UN deplores that such life-saving items, destined for severely malnourished children, were diverted from their intended purpose,” the statement said.
