TSUNAMI SRI LANKA 2004 |
Devastation to coastal villages |
|
Rescue efforts and treatment of the injured is beyond the government and the people, whilst trying to prevent the spread of disease will require the biggest medical mission this country has ever seen. To prevent the waterborne epidemics due to shattered water supply in these affected areas is going to be even more horrendous. The country’s medical supplies have been exhausted. Supplies had to be flown in along with medical teams. There is also shortage of food & medicine in the affected areas. Only a few houses being built to move those in the camps. |
The Shock from the Waves |
For Sri Lankans, the season of joy, celebrating the birth of Christ and heralding the birth of the New Year, was marred by death and the unbearable feeling of utter loss |
