    The deadly earthquake and tsunami that hit Central Sulawesi have brought grief to those who have lost loved ones. However, the survivors need to get on with their lives. The government – with the help of individuals, civil society groups and businesses, as well as other countries – has tried hard to provide humanitarian aid and basic necessities as well as restore infrastructure. Slowly but surely, survivors are getting back on their feet and beginning to start their lives over again.[ary]
