�I heard shooting sound July 31st 2006 night, and woke my husband. He said it must be between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the Sri Lankan forces.There was electricity since 9.45 pm on the same day.We heard firing being exchanged between both parties.Bullets fallen on our roof. We thought that, it was not safe to stay there, and left in night dresses and gone and stayed with our relatives.We had neither food nor water.Later we all moved to Akkaraichchenai for safety.We cooked rice.But we did not have vegetables or fish.The shops were looted.We ate rice with coconut. Our children did not have proper meal since then. My niece got injured in front of my eyes, while we were staying in a Matharasa� says Mohamed Subair Mehroon Nisha (30) of Thakkuanagar in Muthur
