After 20 years of civil war, hopes for peace were high in Sri Lanka following a 2002 ceasefire. Those hopes have now been shattered; thousands of Sri Lankan families are fleeing their homes in the north, north-east and north-west ahead of violence that threatens to slide into civil war once again. In some areas where roads have been blocked off World Vision is the only agency delivering relief supplies to the displaced people.
