20 Years After the Banda Aceh Tsunami: Stories of Surviving Orphans

On December 26, 2004, a devastating tsunami triggered by a massive earthquake took the lives of 167,000 people in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, leaving thousands of orphans. Two decades later, survivors like Lisa Arienti and Rana Elika reflect on their harrowing experiences and the lives they have built since. Lisa, who lost her entire family, now works as a waitress, living in government-provided housing for tsunami victims. Meanwhile, Banda Aceh has transformed, erasing most signs of the tragedy, but some memorials remain to honor the victims.
