Project Brief

The nation of Sri Lanka is an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. In 2004, it was hit by the Tsunami which resulted in over 35,000 deaths and CRS sent many relief teams to help in the relief effort.

However, Sri Lanka has also been facing civil war since 1983 between the Sri Lankan government and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). In early 2009, the Sri Lankan government launched large scale attacks to take control of the whole nation that resulted in more than 6,500 deaths and many more thousands injured.

As a response, CRS sent relief teams in June to September 2009 to help to conduct mobile medical clinic and food distribution at the Internally Displaced People camps and the surrounding areas in Batticaloa and Vanni.
