always there was adequate food supply to the wanni... it was the propaganda that played a role in creating a shortage. This was done by the LTTE terrorist as well as political parties for their own agendas.
LTTE is trying hard to protect the Tamil civilians in the area who suffer atrocities by the SLA.
LTTE humanitarian wing has taken special steps to provide adequate food, and basic necessities to the people affected by the shelling of the military of the terrorist government.
SLA is killing innocent civilians!!!!
Praba is hungry, so trying to get more food for the fat bugger!
