An Indonesian girl believed to have been swept away by the 2004
tsunami has been found safe and reunited with her family at the age of
14. Four-year-old Raudhatul Jannah and her seven-year- old brother
were last seen when huge waves stuck their home in West Aceh on
December 26, 2004. She was given up for dead until June, when an uncle
spotted a girl in another village who looked remarkably like Jannah.
Upon inquiring, he found that a fisherman had plucked the youngster
from the sea and turned her over to his mother, who raised her.
Jannah's brother, who disappeared with her, is still missing.
