KUALA LUMPUR: Mercy Malaysia’s Norazam Abu Samah spent four years in Aceh after the 2004 tsunami helping in the rebuilding effort.

Upon hearing that a 6.5-magnitude earthquake had struck Aceh this time, the architect packed his bags and rushed back to Aceh to assess what Mercy Malaysia could do to help this time around.
