Tsunami 'swept away' my family, but we found each other
Intan Afriati from Indonesia was nine when the tsunami separated her from her mother and brother.
She described the scene as "horrific", seeing 鈥渄ead bodies everywhere" once the tide had passed.
Whilst living with another family, she received a call from someone who "wanted to hear" her voice.
Intan 鈥渃ouldn鈥檛 believe it鈥 when the caller turned out to be her mother.
When they were reunited her mother "hugged her tight" and said she would "never leave her" again.
