200 children lost family members in Lanka carnage

Colombo, May 8

About 200 children in Sri Lanka have lost their family members, some of them sole breadwinners, in the massive Easter Sunday bombings, according to a leading charity organisation.

Some of the families have lost their source of income and might not have sufficient savings to resume their normal life, Colombo-based Sri Lanka Red Cross Society  said.  Nine suicide bombers carried out a series of blasts that tore through three churches and as many luxury hotels on the Easter Sunday, killing more than 250 people. — PTI
