Description
An Indonesian woman, comforted by another woman, raises her hands as she cries with grief following the death of a relative at Banda Aceh public hospital, following the tsunami of 26 December 2004. Banda Aceh was hit hard by both the initial earthquake, which occurred off the coast of northern Sumatra, and the tsunami which followed. Australian military forces were deployed to Banda Aceh, under Operation Sumatra Assist, to provide humanitarian relief following the disaster, which killed over 110,000 people in Indonesia.
