Despite being outnumbered nearly 100 to 1, the approximately 500 remaining Tigers have refused to surrender, clinging to their last 5-mile-long strip of territory. The army's advance has allowed more than 90,000 ethnic Tamil civilians trapped between the two sides to flee the fighting, although thousands more still remain.
