Vetrimanai home for the mentally ill women displaces due to fear of aerial bombing
 

[CWDR – 23 January 2008]
  The Vetrimanai home for the mentally ill women located in Kilinochchi was forced to displace as a result of persistent aerial bombing which is seriously affecting the already poor mental health of these women.Some of the women who were well on the way to recovery have become more ill again
 
     
 
         
 

The Vetrimanai building was built during the ceasefire period with funds provided by the Royal Norwegian Government. It has good facilities relative to the local standards. However, some of the bombardments have been very near this new Vetrimanai building and this has affected the patients very badly. Indeed in one bombing the walls of the building cracked and light fittings shattered.

Vetrimanai has now temporarily relocated to one of its old sites where it functioned in temporary shelters in past. These temporary shelters are in state of decay now. The displaced patients are presently staying in tents and under the trees.

Presently CWDR is in the process of putting up temporary shelters for the women patients in this displaced location.
