Amidst the chaos and destruction, one remarkable story emerged. Yuli, a young woman from a small village near Banda Aceh, found herself trapped in a collapsed house with her two young children. As the water rose around her, she desperately clung to life, the fate of her loved ones hanging in the balance.

With each passing moment, the situation became more dire. The water was rising steadily, and the darkness threatened to engulf them. Yuli knew she had to find a way out or both she and her children would perish.
Summoning every ounce of strength and courage, Yuli fought against the relentless waves and debris. She searched frantically for an escape route, but every way seemed blocked. Just when hope seemed lost, she spotted a small opening in the roof.
