The European Commission on Wednesday said it was providing 5 million euros (6.3 million dollar) in aid help conflict victims in war-torn Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan refugees in India, according to DPA. The commission, the executive arm of the European Union, also slammed the fighting forces in Sri Lanka for not complying with international humanitarian law and violating the security of international aid workers. Attacks and murders perpetrated against relief staff were "unacceptable", said EU development commissioner Louis Michel, calling to bring the culprits to justice. EU funds would be used to finance food, housing, water, sanitation, healthcare and education for more than 250,000 displaced and vulnerable persons, the commission said.
