As all the doctors in the safety zone are detained in IDP camps, around 25,000 injured civilians are dead and many others are still in dangerous condition due the continued artillery attacks by sri lanka army. Also Sri lanka now not allowing ICRC to get the seriously wounded patients from the war zone. LTTE already aggreed to lay down their arms in order the save the further loss of civilians in the war zone.
Sea Tiger Special Commander of the LTTE, Col. Soosai Sunday noon said that around 25,000 civilians injured in the artillery attack of Sri Lanka Army are dead and dying now without receiving medical attention.
The LTTE has repeatedly requested the ICRC through Mr. Pathmanathan to evacuate the injured through Vadduvaakal or Iraddaivaaikkaal, but there was no IC response. Within a 2 square kilometre area, there are dead bodies everywhere while the remaining thousands are in bunkers amidst the use of every kind of weapon by Colombo's forces. The SLA is not even allowing the people to flee but prefers to fire at them, Soosai said.
The International Community has not cared for what is happening. Many more thousands in addition to the 25,000 are being injured and killed now. Acting at least now can save them. We continue to defend, as there are signs of rescue, he further said.
Meanwhile, latest reports from Vanni indicate that several thousands of civilians have been captured by the Sri Lankan Army, but only after first firing at them at random, causing the death and injury to many.
LTTE's head of international relations S. Pathmanathan in a statement Sunday, following an hour after Soosai's message, said the LTTE is prepared to silence its guns if that is what needed by the International Community to save the life and dignity of the Tamil people.

The reason the army killing these civilians is to wipe out witnesses and to keep their false figures right. But their false figures are all exposed repeatedly.
The army claimed that they have rescued all civilians. Are they? Lets see how credible there information is.
The following figures come from defence.lk
7th may 2009: an estimated 15,000 -20,000 civilians are in the no-fire zone
17th may 2009: 50,000 civilians 'rescued' during last 72 hours.
It is always the same with the government information. Why should the world believe that there are no civilians out there in the war zone? According to local sources there are still thousands of people still there left alone without any help. The army is firing at them.
They blocked all media to hide their warcrimes!
