Mass Graves

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:36:47

There are four mass graves around Banda Aceh where the dead in the province were buried, post-tsunami. The largest site is Lambaro, located on the road to the airport, where 46,000 unidentified bodies were buried. Other grave sites include Meuraxa, Lhok Nga and Darusalam, where another 54,000 bodies were interred. Families who wish to mourn their unlocated loved ones choose one of the mass graves based on geographic proximity; they have no other evidence of where to offer their prayers.
