An ethnic Tamil Sri Lankan tsunami survivor walks at the site of a housing complex in Valaichchenai Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, December 20, 2006. The military and the Tamil Tigers have both hampered access to conflict areas, and artillery duels have made it too dangerous for aid workers to operate, forcing many organisations to shelve or abandon tsunami projects altogether.

Richard Mawer, Country Director of Save the Children - Sri Lanka, talks with Buddhist monks of Jathika Hela Urumaya, the Sinhalese nationalist all-Buddhist monk party (JHU), who staged a demonstration in front of the Colombo office of Save the Children January 12 2007. In a separate incident, a Dutch Christian aid group that Sri Lanka suspects of helping the Tamil Tigers said on Friday hardline Buddhist monks allied to President Mahinda Rajapakse had mobbed their office and warned them to leave the island.
