28 April 2009 - Carnage ensues in No Fire Zone
Unprecedented levels of shelling and aerial bombardment were reported by medical facility workers within the No Fire Zone, who said that the wounded were left to die as shelling was so intense that people could not move out of their bunkers to retrieve bodies.
The LTTE told TamilNet that over 5,600 shells had been fired into the No Fire Zone within the space of 15 hours, in what was the most intense day of shelling the No Fire Zone had seen to date.
27 April 2009 - Aerial bombardment of No Fire Zone, UK politicians warn of carnage of unimaginable magnitude
The Sri Lankan Air Force continued the onslaught in the No Fire Zone, dropping at least 23 bombs and countless shells into the civilian population, reported TamilNet.
Earlier assurances to stop using heavy weapons around the No Fire Zone by the Sri Lankan government proved futile as hundreds of Tamil civilians were injured and several killed by the areal bombardment.
The LTTE Director of the Peace Secretariat, Puleedavan, speaking to TamilNet, said that Sri Lanka was “attempting to deceive the International Community.”
Meanwhile the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPGT),a cross-party committee of MPs in Britain, called on the international community to prevent the ‘final onslaught’ of the Sri Lanka Army which would result in “carnage of unimaginable magnitude.”
