Soldiers help civilians at Omanthai checkpoint
As the battle against the LTTE intensified, especially after the fall
of Kilinochchi, the Tigers retreated east towards Puthukuduirrupu,
taking with them thousands of civilians to use as human shields.
Those not caught in this net fled south towards the Government lines.
The scenes here show civilians being greeted by soldiers at the Omanthai
checkpoint.
