More than 2,000 innocent civilians have been killed in the last 24 hours, local aid workers, saying.
The rescue workers had counted more than 1,200 bodies. Many of the dead were "found in bunkers and inside the tarpaulin tents," it said.

A government doctor, V. Shanmugarajah, who works in the area still under rebel control told the BBC that 378 bodies and 1,122 wounded had been brought to a makeshift hospital Sunday.
