Sri lankens should be very sympathetic towards Pakistan. But Paks are bombing each others. So Doctors should be very careful, because they are very precious citizons. They should ask proper insurance coverage from GOSL.

Charity should begin at home.

Is it retribution or just coincidence that all countries that helped Sri Lanka in the war with accussations of crimes against humainity to its own citizens are facing natural calamities?
