FILES-SRI LANKA-UNREST-CIVILIANS
(FILES) In this picture taken on May 7, 2009, a displaced Tamil civilians wait for water at Manic Farm in the northern Sri Lankan district of Vavuniya. International aid agencies and the United Nations on May 19, 2009, pushed Sri Lanka to allow desperately needed help to be rushed to displaced civilians now that the fighting against Tamil rebels is over. The government has severely restricted access to hundreds of thousands of non-combatants who managed to escape the fighting in the northeast, despite widespread fears of a deepening humanitarian crisis. Men, women and children waded through swamps as they fled the savage final battles between the government troops and the Tamil Tigers in a small sliver of coastal jungle. AFP PHOTO/PEDRO UGARTE/FILES
