Daily life in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan widowed women whose husbands were members of the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) and were killed during the civil war pose for a photo along with their children in Mannar, Sri Lanka. This is just one of the many reminders of the deep scars caused during the 26-year long civil war between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). The United Nations estimates about 40,000 people were killed during the war. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
