Miriam Labbock from Unicef asked that the following response from Israel's Ministry of Health with regards the Israeli NGO IsraAID's use of infant formula in Sri Lanka be sent to Lactnet.

"Dear Miriam,
Thank you for your letter and for the information.
Needless to say that this Israeli group has not been working in accordance
with our guidelines. I assume that it is one of the NGOs that has been
working in the field. As a matter of fact, the formal Ministry of Health
medical group that was supposed to get to Sri Lanka had been refused and
most of its members went back home. Later on, a group of specialists in
mental health was sent to this region.
Of course, we do encourage breastfeeding and if we were permitted to work
in the area we would have done
relactation. We have nothing to do with these actions."
