| 摘要 | This article presents an interview with veteran relief worker Kelly Darnell about working amid the unimaginable devastation left by the December 26, 2004 tsunami. Darnell, an out lesbian from Santa Barbara, California, traveled to Sri Lanka two weeks after a catastrophic tsunami destroyed a third of the country's coastline on December 26, killing over 30,000 people in that nation alone. Darnell, 36, is the Asia and Middle East program officer for Direct Relief International, an aid agency providing lifesaving medical supplies to hospitals and clinics worldwide. Darnell was shocked at what she saw. Everything is decimated, torn to rubble on both sides of the road. Some people are there, but most are gone, passed away. It was not just by the water that is wrecked, it was far inland. There was a mass grave where 150 people are buried. People wearing masks because of the smell. It was surreal. People walking around shocked and in tears. At a refugee camp inside a Buddhist temple in Galle there were about 45 families. Most of them do not seem to have known each other before this happened. Driving for miles, and hours, one sees them, all these people in plastic chairs sitting on rubble. It was indescribable. |
