Donor interest in north waning
[ Saturday, 07 July 2012, 05:28.15 PM GMT +05:30 ]
Donor assistance is waning in northern SriLanka, where the critical priorities of food, shelter, protection and nutrition are not being covered, and many displaced people still need outside assistance more than three years after a decades-long civil war ended.

“We’re now at a critical juncture in time,” Vincent Lelei, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) said. “It’s imperative that donors remain engaged if we are to ensure the valuable gains that have already been achieved.”

Of the US$147 million requested for humanitarian activities in the Northern Province , just 17.5 percent had been funded a gap of nearly $122 million. Those in need have yet to realize durable solutions and will continue to need assistance, the UN warned.

“Despite strong commitment from Aus Aid, the European Union, and India, there… [are] huge outstanding shelter needs in the north,” she said .
