International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has agreed to extend its presence at Omanthai crossing point in the Vavuniya district to five days a week. On the request of the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE, ICRC had agreed to extend its presence at Omanthai from August 27, the ICRC head of delegation Toon Vandenhove announced in Colombo on August 24. In June 2007, the organization reduced its presence at the crossing points to three days a week following a number of security incidents that jeopardized the safety of civilians crossing the Lines and that of ICRC personnel. ICRC will continue to be present at the Uyilankulam crossing point in Mannar district on the usual three days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), as not many people reportedly use that crossing.
