This used to be Danni Sianipar's home in Northern Sumatra.

The mother of four barely escaped with her life when half a mountain collapsed on her house 

in the middle of the night.

+++Sot – DANNI SIANIPAR, Resident of Tarutung, Indonesia

“I was just taking care of my baby when I heard a very loud boom. We were terrified. We walked while praying and screaming, all together with my family. We ran, and then local residents came and rescued us.”

After the floods and landslides hit the island of Sumatra more than a weeke ago.

It took four days for help to reach her tiny village

All the roads were washed out

Xxxxxxx
This is what hundreds of homes across the island now look like. 

Clearing away the mud and debris will take months.

PTC Georg:
“Once you step into this slippery mud is when you understand how dangerous these landslides are with literally liquified soil coming from all corners now luckily in this building no one got hurt. People could flee in time but many here are concerned about secondary landslides.”

The soil in the mountains is still soaked and more rain is forecast to hit Sumatra 

Many villages remain cut off

and that's why the Indonesian military says it's now moving at full speed 

to get food and medical aid to thousands of people in need.

+++Sot – Zulkifli Sirait, Military Personnel:
“We HAVE ALREADY BEEN ABLE TO reach six villages on foot that are still isolated. Our plan is to walk there again to identify the exact coordinates for helicopter aid deliveries, and set up an emergency kitchen there. We hope this will ensure that no one is left without assistance.”

Some relief for Danni has arrived

Soldiers not only came with food but also brought diapers for her baby. 

For now her family is staying with neighbours. 

She says she won't rebuild her house here. 

But she aslo says only with financial aid would her family be able to move somewhere safer ...  

and start over.
