LOOKING BACK 2004

26 December 2024

Foreword:
I would never forget this day.... the mood of the day out in Mona Vale Beach suddenly turned sullen and there was something in the air that augured an awful storm. The road back to the city was chaotic. Everyone was driving in a hurry. Thanks God we came home safe and scared we couldn't explain, and the moment we turned the TV on for news, lo and behold, this horrific scenario was all flashed out on the screen.

#History: 2004 Asian Earthquake & Tsunami
by Duoi Ampilan,  Humanitarian Worker 

On 26 Dec 2004, a huge strong earthquake with a Magnitude 9.2 struck the west coast of Aceh in Indonesia at 7:58am local time.

That undersea mega earthquake is known as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and the 2004 Asian Tsunami.

It is the deadliest tsunami in human history and the deadliest disaster in modern history. 

It's one of the longest duration of faulting, which lasted for 10 minutes. 

The earthquake triggered a gigantic tsunami measuring 30 meters high. The tsunami affected many countries including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, etc. 

In Banda Aceh alone, 170,000 perished.

The tsunami even reached Somalia in East Africa, which also killed people.

The estimated number of deaths is at least 227,000.

DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN

Tula ni Jeremiah Chavez Eufemio DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN Sa lagaslas ng dalampasigan  Doon ko natagpuan ang kapayapaan Hatid ng hampas ng mga alon At banayad na init ng dapit hapon. Sa mga puting buhangin ng Panubigan Doon ko natagpuan ang karangalan Sa matapat na araw ng pangingisda Nang dumaong ang kanilang bangka sa dalampasigan Salat man sa karangyaan ng modernong pamumuhay Sagana naman sa kasiyahan at kapayapaan Kay gandang pagmasdan, kay sarap balikan Ang dalampasigan sa Panubigan.

Ukraine was my 14th country of deployment and the 24th country I traveled to.  After all the twists, turns, trials, tensions and torments, I am feeling tired.  Being a Humanitarian Worker is said to be among the Most Dangerous Jobs because of the associated risks and uncertainties aside from the daily stress & tensions.

We offer our services, our time, talents and for some our lives!  We also have the fair share of the things that make us love our work - the opportunities of reaching many places of historical im...
