The human toll in Aceh
Two more days, and then I'm flying off. I'll be reaching Banda Aceh by late afternoon on 3rd July, and will be helping with rebuilding works in Tibang Village. Just for your info, the human toll in Aceh:
- Fatalities: 131,029
- People missing: 37,000
- Casualties from coastal villages averaged from 70 to 100 percent.
- Number of internally displaced persons (IDPs): 556,638, including those displaced by the earthquake on 28 March.
And read on some more about the current state of reconstruction in Banda Aceh, six months after the tsunami struck. In the article, there's a picture of Tibang Village, where I'll be volunteering during my First Build trip.
