KILINOCHCHI DISTRICT
The district consists of Poonagary, Karachchi and Kandavalai project divisions. Livelihoods in the Kilinochchi District include farming, fishing, small business and Government sector employment. However there have been fears of SLAF air strikes and the situation is tense.
The Poonagary division has been affected by war numerous times over the past 25 years. Civilians have been displaced to other divisions in Kilinochchi district due to recent shelling and bombing attacks by the SLA and SLAF. These attacks and the closure of the A9 highway have hampered the transportation of farm products/outputs via the A9 highway to the South and East.
There have been a number of local organizations that TRO has partnered with to provide relief work for IDPs and vulnerable people in the villages. They are:

VADAMARADCHCHI EAST (JAFFNA DISTRICT)
Vadamarachchi East is a part of the Jaffna district, it has coastal villages such as Maruthankeny, Uduthurai, Thalaiyady, Aliyavalai, Vettilaikeny, Kaddaikkadu, Pookkaruppu, Kevil and Chundikulam which are under LTTE Administration. Many civilians of these villagers died in the tsunami and a large number of properties such as houses, fishing boats & boat engines were destroyed. Civilians were affected once again with the recent return to war and the ensuing artillery, multi-barrel and Kfir attacks by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces. The population has been displaced and lacks the basic amenities such as shelter, food, water, and medicine.

MANNAR DISTRICT
Mannar District is divided into two parts: the government-controlled areas and the LTTE-controlled areas. The people of Manthai West & Madhu are in LTTE administrated divisions. These people were affected during previous military operations such as "Edipala operation" and "Ranagos operation." The civilians in the area have been engaged in fishing & farming for their livelihood. Civilians fled the area after the recent SLA attempted advances and SLA air strikes. The 02 July 2007 bombardment of a civilian cottage in the Padakuthurai – Iluppaikadavai village in Mannar district triggered the displacement of a large number of IDPs to safer areas.
There is one organization, IDRO, for the Madhu division and two, MWDO and NEDRO for Manthai West Division who are engaged in relief work with TRO's support.

VAVUNIYA DISTRICT
Vavuniya district is divided into two parts: the government-controlled areas and the LTTE-controlled areas. Vavuniya North, in the LTTE-controlled areas, consists of Nedunkeny division and Puliyamkulam areas.
The civilians of Vavuniya North have been affected by military activities such as multi-barrel artillery attacks, air strikes and claymore mine attacks by SLA Deep Penetration Units (DPU). Currently the civilians have fled from their homes to safer areas; as a result the schools are not functioning.
