T he Hand of Help Charity has been delivering thousands of sacks of relief to the areas around the towns of Mullaittivu, Batticaloa, Matara and Trincomalee. They have also provided medical clinics to the refugee camps in these areas. A  s these photographs show, the damage to the east, south, and west coasts of Sri Lanka was considerable. Entire towns and villages were washed away, leaving only debris behind. Whole village populations were drowned, leaving no survivors. Other village populations survived, but are now homeless and without hope of employment. Longterm planning and help with the restructuring of these communities is needed. This is what our charity is doing now.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     Children amongst the ruins of their homes, by the roadside near Batticoloa on the east coast of Sri Lanka.     The wreckage of homes on the west coast of Sri Lanka, just south of Colombo.   The ruins of a home on the east coast of Sri Lanka, just south of Colombo.   The remains of a railway line, flooded and distorted by the Tsunami on the west coast, just south of Colombo.
