Closed petition Increase foreign aid to Sri Lanka during its economic crisis
Closed on
I want the Government to increase foreign aid to Sri Lanka and extend the deadlines for any loans due to help it survive one of its hugest economic crises. Students cannot take exams because there is no paper, and people cannot learn because there is no electricity. Lives are being lost.
According to the Guardian, "Colombo [is] unable to fund [the] import of printing paper, leaving millions of students unable to take part in term assessments". Don't forget Sri Lanka. 22 million people need help.
