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.

The district of Banda Aceh in Aceh province, located on Indonesia's Sumatra island, just days after the massive Boxing Day tsunami of 2004, and below it the same location photographed on December 1, 2014
The top photograph was taken on January 8, 2005, and shows of two fishing boats beside a commercial building in central Banda Aceh, which had been carried into the city by the massive wave, and then, bottom, last month
The top photograph was taken with a telephoto lens on January 16, 2005, more than two weeks after the tsunami, showing a partly damaged mosque in the Lampuuk coastal district of Banda Aceh, staining alone in the debris, and photographed again, below, this month
The first photograph was taken on January 9, 2005, just over a week after the tsunami, showing a of a street which had been cleared, but still had huge piles of debris on either side, in Meulaboh in Aceh, and the same location photographed on November 29 this year
The left photograph shows debris scattered across the grounds of Banda Aceh's Baiturrahaman mosque in Aceh province, two days after the tsunami, and right, taken on November 27 this year, shows the renovated grounds
The top shoto was taken just days after the 2004 tsunami, and shows heavy debris spread across the grounds of Banda Aceh's Baiturrahaman mosque in Aceh province, and the same location photographed on November 27, 2014 (bottom) showing the renovated grounds
