World Vision has condemned the killing of two aid workers in Sri Lanka and called for a full investigation by the Sri Lankan authorities, as funeral plans for the victims were underway.
"The killing of humanitarian workers who are trying to assist those caught up in the current conflict cannot be tolerated," said Dion Schoorman, director of World Vision in Sri Lanka.
"All sides in the current conflict must respect and recognize the role of humanitarian workers, who provide aid and assist victims irrespective of their ethnicity, religion or creed."
