Charity not the answer says fisher-folk

BBC - The fisher community had not even received the basic help to restore their life since the devastation of the tsunami says Pauline E Tangiora, the coordinator of World Forum of Fisher People [WFFP].



At a press conference in Colombo, after a tour in the Southern coast of Sri Lanka, Pauline Tangiora said, "The forthcoming monsoon will make life even harsher for the fisher folk. People living in the tents will face the most difficult living conditions since the tsunami. The heat inside the tents will be unbearable while the camp sites will be flooded with rain water."
