The body of Anula Ratnayaka, a Sri Lankan caregiver who tragically lost her life during a recent Hamas attack in Israel, was repatriated to Sri Lanka this morning. Ms. Ratnayaka had been working as a caregiver in Israel when the attack occurred.

The devastating incident occurred during a period of heightened tension in the region, and Anula Ratnayaka became an unintended victim of the violence. She was among those affected by the indiscriminate attack, which took the lives of over 1400 individuals and left many others injured.

The Sri Lankan government, in coordination with Israeli authorities, facilitated the repatriation of Ms. Ratnayaka's remains to her home country. Anula Ratnayaka's tragic death has underscored the challenges faced by migrant workers in regions of conflict.
