IDP Camp in Sri Lanka


Batticaloa is a large town on the East Coast of Sri Lanka.

Decades of conflict have led to the displacment of population in the East and North of Sri Lanka as the move to get out of the way of the fighting between the Government and the Tamil Tigers. Many of the people in this camp had been displaced several times already in the last decade.

If you have Google Earth on your system, you can click here to view the location where the panorama was taken. What looks like a wide wooden post in the image is the support pole for a volley-ball net.
