This will finance further  assistance for internally displaced Sri Lankans, helping them to return  to their homes, and ensuring that basic services are in place for the  returnees.These additional resources will also bring humanitarian aid to  vulnerable Sri Lankan refugees in India, and will reach the most  affected victims of the floods that ravaged Sri Lanka's eastern province  earlier this year. Kristalina Georgieva, Commissioner for International Cooperation,  Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response said: "Europe will continue its  impartial support to the vulnerable communities in Sri Lanka, and will  work to build the bridge between relief assistance and long-term  development in the country". Many Sri Lankans who had been internally displaced by violence have  returned home since the conflict ended in May 2009. Still, some 75,000  refugees continue to lead a difficult life in camps in Tamil Nadu,  India.</blockquote>
