They say that the LTTE is snatching the humanitarian aid despatched by the Government. The terrorists are also said to be accumulating medicinal drugs for their use. Civilians are petrified as armed cadres are roaming. Civilians are escaping whenever they get an opportunity. A civilian said the LTTE looted the aid sent by the Government. Medicine is not given to them. They shoot at escaping civilians. The troops treat them in a humane manner after they surrender and are sent to secure areas. The 55th Division will soon create a path for the civilians to escape, defeating LTTE strategies. The aim of the troops is to free thousands of children, unable to escape from the area.
