Sri Lanka re-directs tsunami aid
(BBC) Sri Lanka has so many tsunami relief supplies it is now distributing them to those unaffected by the disaster.
The country's social services minister said goods were being sent to homes for the elderly and institutions for children and the disabled.
Supplies of milk powder, tinned food, bottled water and other goods have left warehouses bulging.
About 31,000 people died in December's tsunami in Sri Lanka and up to one million were displaced.
