In general, the tsunami wave moved along the the coast, but in the smaller closed bays, the water could not get out and as Palu is at the bottom of such a deep bay, the wave hit very hard and destroyed almost everything on its way. One week after the disaster, the aid organisations are still struggling to get in and help, but the need is very obvious as people have lost everything.
In the wake of the earthquake and tsunami in Palu, Dongala District, Central Sulawesi, the Poul Due Jensen Foundation has granted a 2 million DKK disaster relief donation for Water Mission to help out with emergency water supplies in the disaster-stricken area.
