Sri Lankan Prime Minister’s Status about Israel and Palestine war
Prime minister of Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapaksa published a Status on his facebook Page about the Israel and Palestine war “I am deeply concerned about the latest outbreak of hostilities within the Israeli-Palestinian region, which has already caused untold suffering for the people on both sides of the conflict. Apart from causing much harm and misery to the people living within the territories concerned, including the deaths of many children, this is a conflict that has the potential to spill over into the neighbouring region, thus igniting a conflagration that would have catastrophic consequences for the entire world.The creation of the question of the Palestinian people was a direct consequence of colonialism and the fact that the people of this region had no control over their own destinies when the seeds were sown for the conflict that we experience today.As a long-time supporter of the Palestinian cause and the Founder President of the Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine, I have always held the position that the Palestinian people’s legitimate right to statehood must be upheld. The preservation of the rights of the people is important for the assertion of their identity as a distinct people. For a durable solution to the Palestine question, it is imperative to recognize the legitimate and sensitive security concerns of both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.Sri Lanka stands by its position that it is only by the peoples of Israel and Palestine living side- by-side in peace, security and mutual recognition, with all matters resolved permanently through negotiations, that the legitimate aspirations of both parties and sustainable peace can be achieved – a truism highlighted by the latest outbreak of hostilities.It is my sincere belief that the Israeli-Palestinian region is Holy Land that is sacred to people of many faiths from around the world, in fact to all of humanity. As such, I earnestly urge both sides to show restraint and de-escalate hostilities and commence negotiations for a ceasefire.”

The peak of the pandemic yet to come, 12 million will be infected in Sri Lanka and 120,000 to die
Sri Lanka has become the worst-hit country by the third wave caused by the new corona virus. Although we were able to successfully suppress the attack in the first round, we did not seem to be more positively prepared for the second wave that could ensue in the time that followed. Many countries around the world, such as Singapore, which was far behind us at the first wave of the new corona pandemic, not only managed to come up with a clever and far-sighted plan for the second wave of pandemic instead of forgetting about the disease when the epidemic was low over the past year. During that time they spent considerable money on educational research and various outreach against the new coronavirus. There is a basic pattern of the spread of an epidemic. According to this pattern, it takes the shape of an approximate bell and is currently in the third wave of the new coronavirus in Sri Lanka during the first two weeks of this period. In another 6 weeks, Sri Lanka is expected to reach its peak. During this period, the number of infections and deaths will double every four days. Thus, the next four weeks are crucial, as they are expected to cause the highest number of new infections and deaths. According to international research, nearly 60 per cent of the population is at risk of contracting the disease, depending on how the new virus behaves shortly, and often in an open society. Nearly one per cent of these deaths have a direct impact on the capacity of the existing health care system in the country, the number of intensive care units, the size of the beds and the human resource management plan for medical treatment. 30% (Prevalence of infections due to country closure)60% (spread of infection by keeping the country open) As Sri Lanka is currently facing a third wave of the new coronavirus, it must be assumed that, as mentioned earlier, nearly 60 per cent of the population, or nearly 12 million people, are at high risk of contracting the disease. Thus, if the new coronavirus behaves in the way it is currently operating in an open society, our country will lose nearly 120,000 by the time this intensity naturally decreases.

This is a fatal decision by the government and Patient deaths will increase – The Public Health Inspectors Association
The Public Health Inspectors Association says the government’s decision to keep corona infected but asymptomatic people in their homes will be a reason to further increase the death toll. The president of the association Upul Rohana points out that there are not enough doctors or health staff to go to those houses in case of an emergency when corona infected people are kept at home. He said that keeping infected at home was fatal in such a situation and that there was a risk that the patients who needed immediate treatment would die at home if they were not provided with timely facilities. Minister of State for Corona Sudarshani Fernandopulle stated that the pilot program to keep corona infected people in their homes asymptomatic due to the overcapacity of hospitals in the country will commence from today.
