The UN and India must act NOW, to save Tamil Civilians in the Vanni

WAKE UP UNITED NATIONS, INDIA AND TAMIL NADU

These are some distressing videos from the so called " No Fire Zone" in the rebel held areas of the Mullaithivu district of north east Sri Lanka.

Women, children and men battling for their lives in an open air, make shift, fly infested medical facility.

Medicines...even bandages, food and water are in desperate short supply.

The UN says over 4,500 Tamil civilians have dies so far this year ( Over 900 of these are children), and over 9000 have been injured. The numbers of dead and injured are creeping up by the dozen every day.

Weeping mothers, traumatised children and men with an expression of helplessness on their faces.

Should the UN and India just keep quite when it is told that the Sri Lankan government can't consider an extended ceasefire at this time ?

Is the fear of the decimated LTTE regrouping so overwhelming that the lives of Tamil civilians should be put to risk ?

Is it really fair to allow the Sri Lankan army and the rebels to gamble away the lives of over 1,00,000 Tamil civilians ?

Is this not genocide, regardless of who is to blame ?

Should the International media not be doing more to pressure the Sri Lankan government to ease curbs on international journalists visiting the so called "No Fire Zone" ?

Should the UN not take immediate charge of the so called " No Fire Zone" ?

Should the politicians in Tamil Nadu not stand united for this cause and pressure the Union government to snap diplomatic ties with Sri Lanka if it does not end hostilities ?

Should the Indian mainstream media not do more to bring this issue to focus ?
