During the Christmas season, civilians bore the brunt of ongoing violence in Ukraine, particularly a missile strike that left many in the capital deeply traumatized. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the attack as inhuman, indicating the continued suffering amidst a backdrop of war, where civilians often find themselves in the crossfire as infrastructure is targeted for destruction. This highlights the ongoing conflict's devastating impact on ordinary lives.
As the world commemorates the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, poignant ceremonies took place across Asia, remembering the tragedy that claimed over 220,000 lives. Survivors, like Syafriani, continue to feel the long shadows of loss, especially as family members remain missing, amplifying the emotional resonance of the memorials. The remembrance events serve to honor those lost, while also providing a space for reflection on the enduring aftermath of such disasters.
