UN refugee agency aids nearly 1,000 vulnerable to Sri Lanka reprisal attacks
Following a series of bomb blasts on Easter Sunday that killed over 250 people and injured many more, concerns have remained for the safety of refugees and asylum seekers living in Sri Lanka.
UN refugee agency, UNHCR, has been working since “day one” with local partners and the Government, in the aftermath of the 21 April attacks on upscale hotels and Christian churches, following reports of Muslim refugees being targeted by angry mobs.
