Someone one the news mentioned that Sri Lanka, which has a long civil war that's still going on, IIRC, that loads of land mines are now a relocated threat.

I just got off the phone with people looking to buy out my entire stock of water purification equipment (ozone generators) and ship it over there as foreign aid. Anyone here have experience with dealing with Int'l Agencies in a situation like this? Advice would be appreciated (I'll likely be going with them to make sure they are used correctly)

And I heard on the car radio this afternoon (ABC radio, I think,, it was a news break at the half hour) that there are thugs blocking the roads being used to transport emergency supplies.

Apparently they have said they will take the supplies forward to those in need.

If anyone else has additional information on this, I'd appreciate a ping.

Actually the civil war in Sri Lanka was settled about three years ago, which is one of the reasons why it is now a popular tourist destination. You might be thinking instead of Indonesia, several of the hardest hit regions are in the center of an uprising against the government.
