British Tamils help in UK flood relief

British Tamils have assisted in flood relief efforts in the United Kingdom, after major storms struck the country this week.

Organised by the TCC UK, Tamils from London collected donations of blankets, clothes, food and water to distribute to those affected by the floods, with one London temple donating £1,000 towards relief efforts.

UK Parliamentarian Gareth Thomas joined the Tamil community in their efforts, with the storms leaving almost 6,000 homes completely flooded and a further 15,900 without power.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
