It's mainly from bombing. That's what we've heard about people in Mullaittivu, Putukkudiyirippu, and other areas. I work in a fabrication company and we have around 35 people--a lot of Sri Lankans. Every day two or three people go. My cousins died. It's very hard. Mostly the shelling is the main one, and the disease is on the other side. They don't have good facilities in the camps. My relatives are still in Vavuniya. You can go to see it. They don't have good sanitation facilities, and they are dying from disease because they never allow the people to leave the camp. They are very sick. Even pregnant women have died in those camps, according to reports from the NGOs.
