The island of Sulawesi on Indonesia, which just a week ago suffered a 7.

5-
magnitude earthquake followed by a tsunami that crested over electricity poles, is a
place of divided faiths. It is also a place where catastrophe after catastrophe, have
been inflicted on Muslims and Christians alike.
In little more than half a century, Sulawesi has endured dozens of earthquakes,
landslides, floods, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions; anti-Communist pogroms that
claimed at least half a million lives nationwide; and sectarian strife that culminated
in the heads of schoolgirls deposited near a church and police station.
More than 1,700 people have been confirmed killed by the twin natural disasters on
Sept. 28. Many more are believed to have died, been buried under soil, and swept
away by waves or trapped in a tangle of crushed buildings that will take months, if
not years, to clear.
For three days, the national disaster agency put the number of missing at an
improbable 113. Suhri Noster Norbertus Sinaga, the spokesman for the National
Search and Rescue Agency, said that figure did not correspond with reality, as local
officials had not yet provided any population data for affected areas.

In the picture, we can see a girl, displaced by the earthquake, sitting in boxes of food
aid in a temporary camp in the Great Mosque of Palu. More than 70,000 people were
displaced by the earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi
Many people had to undergo emergency amputations due to serious injuries, in the
photographs we can observe to Randi, 7, with his father in a field hospital after
having his injured left hand and right middle finger amputated.
People still do not fully recover from the disaster but they always say:
“WE ARE PRAYING AND WE HAVE HOPE”
