Source: IRIN About a year ago, civil war raged around Vasanthi Kumari's house in northern Sri Lanka. "There was a loud sound and 'Appa' [father] went out," Kumari, 21, told IRIN. "That was the last time we saw him alive." Because of the danger, she said, the family could not even bury him properly. "We just dug a hole and put him there."
