Melawati, a 23-year-old Indonesian, was swept out to sea by the tsunami, alone and adrift on the Indian Ocean for five unimagineable days.
A Malaysian tuna-fishing boat spotted her clinging to an uprooted sago palm tree in the waters near Indonesia's Aceh province.
Suffering leg injuries and extremely weak, Melawati, who uses only one name, was still conscious and taken to a hospital on Malaysia's Penang island. |
