Injured civilians are seen in a make-shift hospital following the stand off on Putumattalan beach.
Photograph albums are among the debris that remains on Putumattalan beach.Civilians pictured at Putumattalan in April 2009 in what was supposed to be a 'safe zone'.You won't find this beach in any glossy tourist brochure on Sri Lanka. It's not the image of paradise the island's government wants to sell you.
Tayakiy was a fighter during the war and lost her husband, who was captured by the army.There are toys, children's changing mats, shoes, blouses and dresses that remain as a reminder of the events in 2009.Hell more like it. Or at least it was four years ago, and it's still littered with the debris of the mass exodus and killing that took place here.
