What makes us so rigid that help for victims of natural disasters, which should have been given immediately, has not materialized even after one year? Just to remind all, earthquakes and tsunami hit Palu city and Sigi, Donggala and Parigi Moutong regencies in Central Sulawesi. This disaster claimed 3,124 lives, 705 others are missing and 1,016 unidentified victims were buried in mass graves. The number of damaged houses was recorded at 110,214.
