Displaced ethnic Tamil children from Vakarai travel south in a tractor in Valaichchena, to refugee camps at a government-controlled territory, January 20, 2007. Sri Lanka's army pursued fleeing Tamil Tiger fighters on Saturday after the rebels abandoned their eastern stronghold following weeks of fierce fighting and thousands of refugees arrived at crowded camps.
