ANOTHER 4 HAVE DIED SINCE.
FIVE WERE SENT TO COLOMBO FOR SERIOUS INJURIES. THE SADDEST, A LITTLE GIRL OF SEVEN (DEBBIE) WITH BALL BEARINGS IN BOTH EYES. SHE HAS LOST THE SIGHT IN BOTH EYES AND DOCTORS ARE HOPING THE OP ON ONE EYE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL BUT NO POSITIVE SIGNS YET. BOTH HER LEGS ARE ALSO BROKEN AND HER PARENTS DIED.
