Somalia - Tsunami operation
January 2005



A Red Crescent volunteer sprays disinfectant around houses in Hafun to prevent the spread of disease. Here, he visits 90-year-old Ahmed Suman Ali, whose house was damaged by the tsunami, but who does not want to move to a temporary shelter because he says he belongs to his old house. He moved to the town when he was 18 years old, but he has never seen anything like this tsunami.
