Considerable progress has been made towards the commitment by the Government of Sri Lanka to finding a durable solution for all people displaced by the war, including return to their home areas. Since the humanitarian crisis triggered by the displacement of nearly 300,000 Internally Displaced Persons from the conflict zone in 2008 and into 2009, the Government ensured basic humanitarian assistance to those in camps, supported by the United Nations (UN), national and international NonGovernment Organizations (NGOs), and International Organizations (IOs).
