While wailing siren heralds tsunami commemoration, family prays for missing Siddiq: ‘We keep searching’

The sounding of a siren in the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh on Thursday marked the start of the commemoration of the almost 230,000 people who were killed by a tsunami on December 26, 2004. It affected fourteen countries around the Indian Ocean twenty years ago. Many were never found, such as the then 6-year-old Muhammad Siddiq. “I hope he comes home.”
