Ten years on, how they rebuilt Aceh from the mud of the Tsunami

[Cossack25A1]

With peace already settled in place. Supported by clean & powerful reconstruction agency under president authority, speedy recovery can be achieved. Hope the best for philippines cities affected by typhoon haiyan and most recently typhoon ruby.

Considering the politics here, I doubt it can be achieved in ten years. I just hope that our officials stop making politics out of everything.

God Bless Indonesia! Good to see the development of Banda Aceh.

Thanks, God bless us all. How is recovery process in japan's 2011-tsunami aftermath? How's people there?

灾难过后，活着的人还要继续

Yesterday is history, a lesson for us all, whether we willing to learn or not it's completely different matter. But, there's only one direction for Indonesia... to keep moving forward.

Considering the politics here, I doubt it can be achieved in ten years. I just hope that our officials stop making politics out of everything.

It's all coming from the hope. if one's lost his hope, then he lost everything. So don't lost hope. If you don't trust your govt, then trust your peoples. I know philippines can make it.

People growing mangroves forest to create natural barrier between cities and coastal area, for future disaster mitigation.

A bird’s eye view of Banda Aceh as taken from the minaret of the city’s Grand Mosque. 10 years after the devastating tsunami, the city has risen from the ruins. It's not flashy, but it built back better.

The owners of this house probably weren't too pleased to find that someone had parked a boat on their roof despite the very obvious sign.

This giant generator barge was swept 5km inland by the tsunami. The most astonishing thing is that it was dropped in position by the wave, not dragged, and so the buildings surrounding it are still more or less intact.

In this Aug. 11, 2014 photo, green trees line the shore on Lumpuuk beach, a few kilometers south of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Although this area was devastated by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, it offers a tranquil retreat for tourists today.

well arge bam and ardebil have been repaired and i think you're talking from your me'deh .

abt khorramshar , unfortunately u r right , they still need development and rebuilding (although its 30 years after the war) .....

@pr1v4t33r congrats mate

wish you and your country the best

No they haven't been repaired. You're being two faced as usual.

Edit: and don't bother posting pics of partial restoration. We all know about those. But 90% of it is still in ruins.

i wish you were mature and educated enough to know what "two faced" means

Two faced is saying one thing in English, saying another thing in Persian. It's saying one thing on defence.pk and another on military.ir. But you know all that. Let's not derail the thread anymore.

Hamal joon, go and look at new pictures from Bam, articles written about the lack of attention and use some common sense while you're doing all that. Again, you know I'm right, but you're just trying to show people from other countries that your akhoondi country isn't that bad. Always trying to save face, but you always make it worse for yourself.

 

[ozzy22]

Dude, you should read the book "Mein Kampf" to see how a devastated country can emerge into a global power just in few years.

What then to be destroyed a few years later and be at the mercy of the allies? Never understood the praise Hitler gets he was main person responsible for the destruction of Germany.

شهر بم از خاک برخاسته و در جاده پیشرفت است

Leave then to the then, I was talking about the construction process literally from ashes into a super power, in some few couple of years. A nation raising from a devastated, humiliated, conquered, sanctioned state into a global power one, need to be praised.

Adding some stats from 2013 data

Success in the reconstruction efforts and the improvement of Aceh’s infrastructure was one of the highly successful results of the BRR (National Reconstruction & Rehabilitation Agency) and UNORC’s cooperative efforts. Instead of simply replacing structures, the BRR and donors used the opportunity to make the lives of victims of the disaster better providing higher quality infrastructure and generating increased opportunities for local livelihoods. Major improvements in these affected areas were also made possible after the tragedy in the spirit of ‘Building Back Better’:

• 104,500 Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) destroyed, 195,726 SMEs received assistance.
• 139,000 houses destroyed, 140,304 permanent houses built.
• 73,869 hectares of agricultural lands destroyed, 69,979 hectares of agricultural land reclaimed.
• 1,927 teachers killed (Aceh), 39,663 teachers were trained.
• 13,828 fishing boats destroyed, 7,109 fishing boats built or donated.
• 1,089 places of worship destroyed, 3,781 worship places built or repaired.
• 2,618 kilometers of road destroyed, 3,696 kilometers of road constructed.
• 3,415 school facilities destroyed, 1,759 better school facilities built.
• 517 health facilities destroyed, 1,115 health facilities constructed.
• 669 government buildings destroyed, 996 government buildings built.
• 119 bridges destroyed, 363 bridges constructed.
• 22 ports destroyed, 23 ports constructed.
• 8 airports and runways destroyed, 13 airports and runways constructed

when there is a will , there is a way best of luck

Aceh recovery from its destruction has shown human spirit to rise at its best.

Leave then to the then, I was talking about the construction process literally from ashes into a super power, in some few couple of years. A nation raising from a devastated, humiliated, conquered, sanctioned state into a global power one, need to be praised.

A nation rising from a devastated, humiliated, conquered, sanctioned state into a global power one... Japan and their technology & economy might after their defeat in ww2 also come in mind.

Ten years on, how they rebuilt Aceh from the mud of the Tsunami
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2867055/Indonesia-rebuilds-stunning-series-images-country-risen-ashes-tsunami-decade-on.html

The Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 killed more than 230,000 people in 14 countries, when waves up to 100ft high swept in over Southeast Asia, displacing millions and destroying infrastructure worth billions. The worst hit country, the archipelago nation of Indonesia, suffered more death and destruction than any other, when the Indian Ocean earthquake was followed by a tsunami on December 26, 2004.

Ten years later, communities in Indonesia's Aceh province have rebuilt their homes, towns and villages, rising from the mud of the single worst tsunami in human history.
