Ethnic Tamils carry their belongings as they walk to a temporary transit site in Vavuniya June 7, 2007. Sri Lanka evicted hundreds of minority ethnic Tamils from the capital on Thursday and sent them back to the war-torn north citing security concerns, as the military battled Tamil Tiger rebels in the east.
