The others

My dad called his friends in Penang, and whilst they and their families are safe, their boats are gone. These are not rich people; they have lost their only source of livelihood, and have little savings to sustain them.

With all the of the resources channelled into helping immediate victims, albeit justifiably so, what kind of aid will these families be getting? What is left for them?

There are millions homeless from the disaster -- and more affected in ways that we will never know -- who have escaped death only to find it waiting around the corner, in the form of disease and starvation.
