Colombo, April 1 (Daily Mirror)- Sri Lanka today donated USD 01 million as aid to Gaza's conflict-affected children, the President's Media Division (PMD) said.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe handed over the cheque to Palestinian Ambassador Dr. Zuhair Hamdallah Zaid.
"It is part of the Children of Gaza Fund initiated by President Wickremesinghe, with additional donors contributing," the PMD said.

But no money for elections, free health as poor quality medicine, free education with severe shortages, no 3 square meals for some, etc. A change indeed of Ranil's standards.

But next time if RW says there is no money to any cause the general public will be in front his Palace

Japan support school children by giving bicycles, but this ponnaya giving Rs300mn to different country while suffering our own children !!!

Such a gesture by the government would be well and good if Sri Lanka's children weren't suffering without food and medications too, and it wasn't with the intention of attracting the muslim population to vote for the incumbent government.
S. Samarakoon Monday, 01 April 2024 04:06 PM
Crazy indeed. So many Sri Lankans have no food. What nonsense is this ??
Grace Monday, 01 April 2024 04:08 PM
You beg from poor countries and donate to wartorn countries. Don't forget that number of beggars have increased in Sri Lanka in recent months.
European Monday, 01 April 2024 04:30 PM
And Europe donates millions of dollars to Sri Lankan UNICEF????
johan Monday, 01 April 2024 04:33 PM
One million dollars.Those are from Tax payers' money?What about our malnutritioned children and mothers
Roshan Goonesekera Monday, 01 April 2024 05:08 PM
I thought we were bankrupt? What about our children who are eating just once a day??
Ravi Monday, 01 April 2024 05:28 PM
What about our hungry children?

Charity begins at Home
Traitor at work Monday, 01 April 2024 06:09 PM
While our children go hungry? Ranil is trying to build his international credentials while the citizens suffer.
Premalal Perera Monday, 01 April 2024 06:14 PM
How much do our children get to save off malnutrition?
Sokrates Monday, 01 April 2024 06:29 PM
Very honorable; But can this be explained in a Sri Lankan population in which almost 50% of children do not get enough to eat?
Karalasingam Sivalingam Monday, 01 April 2024 08:07 PM
A worthy cause met by Srilankans is greatly appreciated, let's all join to gether to help the Gaza's children.
Bagi Tuesday, 02 April 2024 10:28 AM
Is that so, why not then joint hands to save Sri Lankan children.
PRESIDENT AKKA SHOWMAN Monday, 01 April 2024 11:47 PM
NOT US$ 01 MILLION, WE COULD GIVE 2M IF OUR CHILDREN, THE LESS FORTUNATE AND POOR WERE ABLE TO PUT 3 BASIC MEALS ON THEIR TABLES, GET THE MEDICAL TREATMENT THEY NEED ETC. THIS IS A DECISION TO SHOW THE WORLD!!. NOT SURE WHAT RANIL IS TRYING TO PROVE AND TO WHOM?.

Charity begins at home. Sri Lankan children are starving. Parents are leaving children and going overseas for work out of desperation, leaving kids vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Yet you want to get in on the international bandwagon to be politically correct and show that you are charitable when your own people are desperate and starving. Being in Colombo is making the government dillusional.

Pay loans instead. MR did the same 10 years ago just before a presidential election and he lost it.
Chaminda Bandara Tuesday, 02 April 2024 04:48 AM
No words to express my feelings !!!
Inshi Tuesday, 02 April 2024 08:58 AM
A friend in need is a friend indeed. The people of Palestine are suffering in a different way. Sri Lankans are blessed in many ways.

Please see this in perspective . Rs. 300 million is given by a country of 20 million people. Which means each of us have given Rs. 15 from our pockets to feed innocent child victims of a war . If we can’t give Rs. 15 from our pocket to feed a hungry child wherever he/she may be , what kind of people are we ? What kind of a nation are we ? I’m proud to be Sri Lankan , to see our leader contribute on behalf of us what little we can , for this worthy cause

Great Initiative and for those who blindly comment this was collected from donors not from the government money . Gaza children’s are dying without food and we don’t have any such situation here ,thanks to god so it great to help those who are in need .
expat Tuesday, 02 April 2024 10:31 AM
Is it Ranil or his clan's money..our hard earned money mf..
Dinesh Tuesday, 02 April 2024 12:46 PM
Is our president or his aides not knowing the plight of Kohuwala junction overhead bridge which has come to a halt in the absence of the Hungarian fund.
ANNECUNT Tuesday, 02 April 2024 12:48 PM
WHAT ABOUT OUR STOLEN MONEY AND ASSETS ARE WE NOT GOING TO RECOVER THEM
Mandayan Tuesday, 02 April 2024 03:07 PM
Those affected by cruel war in Wanni are still awaiting for state help to build up their life but our government is worrying about Gaza. As the village saying goes, the mother is hungry and starving but the son is busy giving rice dhana in a place if worship.
