Survivors remember Indonesian tsunami
Buddhist monks in orange robes chanted on a Thai beach, an Indonesian mother mourned her children at a mass grave, and a man scattered flowers in now-placid waters today to commemorate the 230,000 killed five years ago when a tsunami ripped across Asia.
An outpouring of aid that followed the December 26 2004, tsunami has helped replace homes, schools and entire coastal communities decimated by the disaster. But at today’s ceremonies, survivors spoke of the enduring wounds.
