Thousands flee Sri Lanka bombardment
Updated on 12 May 2009
Channel 4 News has obtained exclusive satellite photos that show the dramatic movement of people over the weekend as a result of repeated bombardment.
Earlier on Tuesday a makeshift hospital in the no-fire zone in the north of Sri Lanka has been shelled killing dozens of people, according to a doctor working in the area.
The attack comes just days after a more sustained shelling reportedly killed hundreds in the safe area which is just a few square kilometres. The Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers have been trading blame for the attacks.
This report contains disturbing pictures of dead and maimed people from the beginning that viewers may find distressing.
