in spite of £480 million being raised for the victims of the boxing day Tsunami, only 1% of that has reached the people in Banda Ache the worst affected area..people are living in flimsy tents flooded with sea water, theyeven the most basic aid vital for life..food, clean drinking water and medicine...while the corrupt Indonesian government and equally dodgy aid agencies ect, argue about how to spend the cash, these people and 100,000's like them have been effectively abandoned, many have suffered indescribable trauma and are yet to recieve counselling or any kind of help, to prevent or treat, the likelihood of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder..and I do know, that if help isn't given soon, the consequences will be tragic..
