According to Table 1: above, GOSL has sent a total of 14, 556 MT of
foods for the 4 months period. The total number of days in the 4 moths
period is 123. Accordingly, there had been 118.34 MT of foods per day. In
other words, when metric tonne is converted into kilograms (1 MT=1000
Kg) it amounts to 118,340 kilograms of fooods was available per day
. Since Limb (A) does not contain details about the total population in
this distict at the relevant period, per person food availability cannot be
worked out.

Accordingly, it is observed that OISL has framed the charge in Limb

(A) without considering the material facts in the charge itself. So, it is

seen that OISL Report neither provides any credible facts nor evidence

to substattiate that GOSL implemented a deliberate policy of denial

of humanitarian assitance to civilians in the conflict zone. Quite

contraray, it proves that GOSL has sent a total of 14, 556 MT of foods

to Kilinochchi district.
