Tusinder af internt fordrevne under borgerkrigen i Sri Lanka er begyndt at vende tilbage til deres hjem.

Some 7,000 internally displaced people (IDP) have returned to their homes in the districts of Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu since last week, according to UNHCR.

Some 207,000 IDPs have left camps in the north and east of the country since the organized return process began in August last year.

They have either returned to their homes or are staying with friends and relatives in Vavuniya, Mannar, Jaffna and other districts.
