No civilian should die in wars. Our approach is that every life is as precious as our own. We jealously guard our non-aligned policy while ensuring that humanitarian values and the saving of lives remain our top priority.
What the world urgently needs today is peace. There is a real risk of a severe global economic crisis, and entire societies are facing serious and complex challenges.
We call upon all parties to demonstrate a firm commitment to peace. As a state, Sri Lanka stands ready to support every step toward ending hostilities. All our actions are aimed at saving lives and ensuring that humanity prevails.
Sri Lankans truly embody kindness at its finest. Time and again, they rise selflessly to help anyone in need, no matter the circumstances. ♥️🙏🏽🇱🇰 Truly blessed to witness such humanity.

This is my family. Two brothers, my father, and the little angel Omar.
Omar was the only kid who survived the bombing of my house.
Israel killed Omar’s father, grandfather, brother, sister, 4 uncles, 3 aunties, and 14 of his cousins.
Israel also destroyed his home and he was injured.
Everyone in this picture was killed except Omar. But did Omar actually “survive”?
Omar is still living under bombardment.
Omar is not safe.
Omar is a kid.
