Former cricket player Sri Lanka Roshan Mahanama urged people to remain united in difficult times. Former cricket player Sri Lanka Roshan Mahanama cooperates with a non -profit organization to serve drinks to residents who are waiting in a long queue to get gasoline in a crisis country.

Sri Lanka has experienced its worst economic problems since its independence in 1948. This country has run out of funds to import fuel, food, and medicines.

In a tweet on June 18, Roshan Mahanama said Sri Lanka needed to take care of each other in difficult times.

We present tea and bread with a team from the Community Meal Share tonight for people in the gasoline queue around Ward Place and Wijerama Mawatha, “he said. “The queue is getting longer from day to day and there will be many health risks for people who live in the queue.”

Mahanama advised residents to look for others who stand in the queue with them. “Bring adequate liquid and food and if you are not healthy, contact the closest person next to you and ask for support or contact 1990,” he added.

Sri Lanka has witnessed protests and riots since March. When anger towards the handling of the government over the crisis was increasingly intensive, Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned as Prime Minister in May.

The situation in the island country is so terrible so that four of the five people have begun to miss eating, said the United Nations, AFP reported.The World Food Program, the UN Food Assistance Branch, tried to collect $ 60 million to fund food assistance efforts for Sri Lanka between June and December.

Earlier this week, it began to distribute food vouchers to pregnant women in the capital of Colombo.
