A Tamil man, who escaped a Tamil Tigers rebel-held area following fighting between Sri Lanka army and Tamil Tigers, gets ready to take a shower at a temporary refugee camp in Vavuniya, northern Sri Lanka February 23, 2009. Since the beginning of the year, over 35,000 Tamils have fled to government-controlled areas following fighting and been placed in refugee camps. However, these refugees complain that they are not able to leave the camps, a temporary measure the government says will continue until they can weed out the rebels' infiltrators hiding among civilians.
