New film appears to reveal the victims of Sri Lanka's war suffering poor conditions in UN-funded camps.
They are among the victims of Sri Lanka's civil war, living in camps funded by the UN.
Now footage has come to light apparently showing how bad conditions are in the camps - patients on intravenous drips lying on mud floors, a man so weak he is unable to brush the flies from his face.
The mobile phone footage, from the group War Without Witness, was reportedly shot two weeks ago in Vavuniya, in northern Sri Lanka, where 200,000 displaced Tamils are being held.
The concern now is that when the monsoon rain season begins, the camp will be flooded.
The plight of Tamil children was raised by Unicef spokesman James Elder, who has just been expelled from the country after being accused by the government of spreading Tamil Tiger propaganda.
