MANNAR & VAVUNIYA DISTRICTS

Situation update • The general situation in Vavuniya and Mannar District remains volatile, with ongoing tension amongst the general population. Security forces remain on high alert throughout the District with increased cordon and search operations in Vavuniya. • The general situation in Mannar District remains volatile. Uyilankulam and Madhu Road Junction checkpoints at the Forward Defense Line (FDL) remain closed (since September 2007 and March 2006 respectively). Restrictive procedures at Medawachchiya and checkpoints on the A14 road, including Uyilankulam, Kaddaiyadampan and Thiruketheeswaram, continue to delay supply of essential items and are resulting in price increases and fuel and construction material shortages. • Military operations continue in Manthai West division with intense daily confrontations between SLA and LTTE occurring north of the FDL.

Displacement/Returns

• 34 families (81 individuals) arrived in Mannar by sea from LTTE-held areas this week. 27 of these families (67 individuals) have been accommodated at the Kalimoddai IDP site. The total population of Kalimoddai is now 232 families (514 individuals). The remaining 7 families (14 persons) are accommodated in a second IDP site at Sirukkandal in Nanaddan DS division, recently established by the Mannar authorities. • GA Mannar reported at the resettlement and rehabilitation meeting that the government has allocated Rs. 4 million for the newly established IDP site at Sirukkandal. The SLA will prepare the land, shelter and other facilities in cooperation with the GA. • IDPs in Manthai West are displacing further north and as a result displacement figures for the division are decreasing. Official figures are awaited.

Sector Developments/Gaps • District authorities in charge of distribution for displaced populations in the border villages of Vavuniya and Mullaitivu are liaising on difficulties related to distribution of WFP dry rations. • The continuation of water bowsering by the Pradeshiya Saba and World Vision to IDPs in Manthai West is threatened by limited fuel supplies. • Humanitarian agencies in Mannar continue to face difficulties in transporting construction and other project material in Government controlled areas. Delays in obtaining clearance to transport materials are impacting implementation and increasing project costs. • UNICEF reports mobile medical health teams were allowed to transport vaccines through the Omanthai check point into Vavuniya North.
