Sri Lanka: Aerial photos of Puthukkudyiruppu Hospital shows No Damage Nor Cluster Bombs

Sri Lanka Air Force today released an aerial video footage taken by a Beach Craft yesterday over the area showing the actual condition of Puthukkudyiruppu hospital.

Air Force spokesman Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara said this video footage was taken by the Beach Craft at about 1:55 p.m. yesterday during a reconnaissance mission over Puthukudduyiruppu area.

The video footage clearly shows the buildings of the former Puthukkudyiruppu Hospital with no damages caused due to artillery fire or aerial bombardment.

Few days ago United Nations officials accused the government of attacking the hospital with cluster bombs. The officials later changed their stand.

The International Committee of Red Cross also said the hospital was hit by the shells three times during last few days.

Following this situation the Puthukkudyiruppu Hospital was moved to a no-fire zone in a coastal area of Mullaitivu on Feb 04th.
