Indonesia: Three years on

‘We visited an area 15 kilometres from the shoreline; it was completely destroyed. The sea had washed away houses, it had carried vessels from the ocean and deposited them on top of buildings and bridges.’ ‘It carried tractors, coaches, all types of vehicles into the middle of rice fields; it carried dead bodies everywhere. Massive concrete structures and multi-storey buildings were reduced to rubble. Every few hundred yards there were lines of corpses in body bags.’ Dr Hany El-Banna, in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, days after the tsunami
