A Malaysian humanitarian organisation has
succeeded in providing aid to displaced communities in Sri Lanka where
others are still struggling to gain access.

posts, which were handed over to the Sri Lanka Ministry of Healthcare
and Nutrition on May 8,” MERCY Malaysia Acting President Dr Ahmad
Faizal Perdaus said in a statement.
