Shaking it up
Another large Indonesian earthquake (6.4, the Boxing Day quake was 9.1) has been recorded off the coast of Sumatra, apparently no damage reported, but the last line of the very short piece:There have been countless aftershocks, which continue to traumatise people across Sumatra.reminded me of a story I saw yesterday about the "psycho-traumatic epidemic" the December 26 earthquake and tsunami has caused. How do you think you would cope if you, and everyone else who had been away from the village working crops, came back to find your children, wife or husband, parents and anyone else who had been in the coastal village at the time, gone? What can we do?
