BANDA ACEH, Indonesia, Dec. 25 (UPI) -- A year after a tsunami killed more than 200,000 people, women in the hardest hit areas of Indonesia say they want to have children again.
Despite the living conditions in the Lam Kruet barracks outside of Banda Aceh, several pregnant women have no money to pay for the deliveries, no cots and no baby clothes, but look forward to having a child again, reported the Australian Sunday.
"We feel lost," said 26-year-old Rohana Abu Bakar, who lost her daughter last year, but is due to deliver a baby next month. "I don't know if I can have the baby in hospital, because we don't have money."
Many of the women don't have much hope of moving into a home for about two years. Some 65,000 people in the province still live in tents and another 70,000 live in crowded barracks.
