GA has given the full particulars of the 12 refugee camps set up in Jaffna district. There are about 12000 IDPs in the camps.
To start the relief work , Swami has selected a Camp with 306 families (1320 members) for immediate distribution of relief materials and for providing spiritual support for the distressed.
