Tsunami 1 Survivors 2 Try to Start a Life in Home Town


海啸幸存者试着在家乡开始新生活


 


This is Nancy-Amelia Collins and I am in Lhungna along the west coast, the devastated 3 west coast of Aceh, that 20 kilometers outside Banda Aceh. There are about 20 people standing 4 around me and they have told me they have just come down from the mountains. It is the first time they have actually come down since the tsunami struck.


 


Right in front of them is where their village used to be, but there is absolutely nothing left standing. You can see a few foundations, but basically there is just debris 5 everywhere. And these people have been searching through what were once their homes, and just looking for anything, anything at all, that they can salvage 6 from this.


 


They are not finding anything except occasionally bodies or just bits and pieces of junk.


 


And they are telling me that even though the situation is like this, and it is as bad as it is, it is as bad as it is, they still wanna come back here. They still wanna rebuild. And they understand that may take a long time. They understand that it is going to be very hard for them to make a living.


 


But they all wanna come back and they feel this is there home and this is where they belong. And they all say to me that even if another tsunami came, they are not going to worry about it because this is where they were born and this is where they want to die.
