Tsunami
operation
Indonesia - Transitional shelter
November 2005 |
|
 |
Rather
than build temporary shelters, most relief agencies decided
earlier this year to construct permanent homes as soon as
possible, in line with community wishes. But hopes that this
could occur quickly were dashed by such constraints as massive
land subsidence due to earthquakes, complications over land
rights – very little Aceh land was documented before
the tsunami – supply problems and absence of clear policy.
Meanwhile displaced people’s living conditions deteriorated.
