MSF doctors on KM Sembilan have just surveyed several villages in the Sibigau area of NW Simeulue Island. The population of over 9,000 are camped in rough shelters make from salvaged materials and some tents. About 90% of the buildings are destroyed or unuseable. The remaining 10% are unsafe. It seems the quake did as much damage as the tsunami. An MSF chopper was scheduled today to bring in mosquito nets and other supplies. These villages are not accessible by land at all.
