School students in Kinniya

Some of the internally displaced people from Muthur have moved to Kinniya. They moved from Muthur to Kantale earlier in August, soon after the violence escalated. Afterwards some of them with relatives in Kinniya moved here. They are staying with their relatives for the moment.

They say that, if their safety is assured, they are willing to return to Muthur.
