At least 250,000 people are trapped in the north of Sri Lanka because of heavy fighting between government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels.

Hundreds of civilians have been killed and aid organisations are warning of a major humanitarian crisis.

Chris Morris has travelled with the Sri Lankan army to Mullaitivu, the last town held by Tamil Tigers, before it fell to Sri Lankan troops.
