Shelling the ‘safe zone’ and the PTK hospital. The first ‘safe zone’ is consistently targeted by Sri Lankan Army shelling. Within one week, hundreds are killed and thousands are wounded. The only remaining hospital lies just outside of the ‘safe zone’ in Puthukkudiyiruppu (PTK).  Medical staff return to this hospital after deciding the ‘safe zone’ is too dangerous, and recommence their care of the wounded in PTK.
