  Tsunami women, 6 months on 27 June 2005  
Return to Lampuuk

It's now six months since the tsunami swept across the Indian Ocean taking the lives of more than two-hundred- and fifty-thousand people.

The worst hit region was the province of Aceh in Indonesia, which lies near the epicentre of the earthquake. In January, we heard from the village of Lampuuk on the west coast of Aceh, where from a population of six-thousand, fewer than one thousand people survived. Of those only a tiny number were women.

Rachel Harvey has been back to Lampuuk to see how the women there are faring six months on.
