The residents of the Nanthan Kudiyiruppu in Kallaru in Kilinochchi were brutally awoken at 1.30am on 29 November as sixteen bombs rained on the camp of these internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had displaced multiple times. Three civilians were killed including a five year old child and a further eighteen were seriously injured. Among the injured are seven children under the age of fifteen, Tamil daily Virakesari reported.
