9:04 pm
and we're joined by did correspondent is in chariots in west java which is one of the worst affected areas thank you for joining us on a so it's been three days since the tsunami hit the area how would you describe the current situation. well right now you will see that there was a lot still fear and anxiety among residents many of them even in the lower lying areas and in the homes that are far off the shoreline they have fled to higher ground so they're occupying places and homes up in the mountains or in the hillsides to see that this is the only place that can possibly keep them safe from the idea of another tsunami coming and rising floodwaters again let's look back at why there is it's continued fear and anxiety in the tsunami that hit last saturday you had no warning usually the residents expect that there's an earthquake that comes before tsunami there was no such thing that happened last saturday and the

9:06 pm
through really was just very nervous about wanting to know when can they go back to normal life when can they go back to their homes is there stand up when can they go back to live in them all rebuild the ones that have been destroyed by the tsunami. and speaking of rebuilding is there enough aid that's coming in at this point and is it getting to these remote areas. it has just started to come in and the continuous rains have delayed the clearing operations in in many of the villages so the roads here as we saw today you know they're. just about to link and when you see that you go further into the more affected areas the debris becomes. more along the roads and so it's been harder to clear these up and so those areas remain still accessible as a soup kitchen that has been set up today and. the distribution of the again this
9:07 pm
