Tsunami - five years on: 'Building back better' |
On Boxing Day 2004, an earthquake
measuring 9.3 on the Richter scale
struck off the western coast of the
Indonesian island of Sumatra. A few
minutes later, a tsunami tidal wave
swept ashore, inundating the city of
Banda Aceh. Tens of thousands of people
were killed, and the world began waking
up to one of the worst natural disasters
in recorded history.
Five years on from the Asian tsunami, photojournalist Abbie Trayler-Smith returned to Banda Aceh to find out how UKaid from the Department for International Development has helped survivors rebuild their lives. To find out more information please visit www.dfid.gov.uk/tsunami
