From: US Citizens of Sri Lankan Origin seeking assistance with Covid Vaccines
Date: May 23, 2021
We the citizens of the US who are originally from Sri Lanka convey our appreciation to you that we are now able to ease our anxiety with Covid19 due to your leadership given to speedy and ample vaccinations provided to the people. We commend your effort.
However, it is not so in our home country Sri Lanka, the closest neighbor to India. Their situation is dire with the spread of Covid spilling through from India. It is sad that in the US news, we noted no mention about Sri Lanka, the closest island nation in references to the region. Sri Lanka is swimming distance from India. Sri Lanka stands alone without attention. People are dying.
Physical facilities were anticipated and speedily provided but the most critical need, VACCINES are not arriving in time for the people. We appeal to you to please turn your attention on Sri Lanka also in the cluster of countries affected in the region. We hope this will get your attention.
Given below is the link to a news item from Sri Lanka that refers to the role that the US can play. Lives of the people there in the small island matter. Thank you.
