Forums des voyageurs des guides Lonely Planet

J'ai quelques news, n'y étant pas retourné depuis quelques années:
A priori, le seul hotel existant (haut de gamme local) et construit pour accueillir le surf contest de 1196 a été refait, le Sorake resort.

Pas mal de guest House dans Lagundi Bay, assez sympa.

Un ami y a été cet été (2007), apparemment, pas de problème, dans cette zone, la présence ce la droite de Lagundi a bien accéléré la resonstruction.

A vérifier, donc.

On December 26, 2004 the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake struck a few kilometers north of the island, creating tsunamis as high as 10 meters. 122 people were killed and hundreds more rendered homeless.

On March 28, 2005, the island was again hit by the 2005 Sumatran earthquake, initially presumed to be an aftershock following the 2004 quake, but now regarded as the second-most powerful earthquake in the world since 1965 and twelfth-most powerful ever recorded. At least 800 people were reported dead, with the possibility of more than 2,000 casualties. Hundreds of buildings were toppled and many thousands were made homeless. In 2007, almost two years after the earthquake, there are still tens of thousands of internally displaced persons living in camps throughout Nias.

Nias's coastline has changed markedly with the tsunami and earthquake. [6] In some areas, the coast has moved over 50 m inland. In other areas, as much as a further 100 m of land is exposed from the sea. The uplift of land has been recorded as being as much as 2.9 m.

Following the earthquake, many international aid agencies have moved in to assist in rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts. Oxfam, Giving Children Hope, Save the Children Fund, World Vision, Surf Aid, and Caritas International are some of the international NGOs represented in Nias. UN agencies represented include UNORC, UNDP, UNICEF, UN-Habitat, WFP, IOM and UNIDO. The Indonesian Bureau of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (BRR) has a branch office in Fodo Village of Gunungsitoli.
