Sri Lanka's humanitarian crisis
The government has called for international assistance as refugee camps struggle to cope.
After 26 years, the Tamil Tigers, who had previously managed their own army, police, courts, and even taxation system, effectively surrendered to Sri Lanka's army.
No one knows how the struggle for an independent Tamil homeland will turn out now, but one thing is for certain: the country is facing a massive humanitarian crisis.
More than 200,000 people are living in squalid refugee camps, after fleeing the intense fighting of the past few months.
