TUI has cancelled more holidays to Sri Lanka due to unrest in the country which has resulted in the nation facing an economic crisis with shortages of medicine, fuel and food. The Mirror reports that protests have been taking place since the end of March, while a state of emergency and nationwide curfew have been put in place.
The Foreign Office says Brits should not visit the country unless it's absolutely necessary. It explained: "Several incidents took place on May 9 involving violence against peaceful protesters, including in the Galle Face area in Colombo, where the security authorities used tear gas and water cannons.
"Incidents have also taken place in the Fort area, Beira Lake in Colombo, Kandy, and in other parts of the country, some resulting in injuries and loss of life. Further incidents could take place."
