Little Girl Swept Away in Indonesia's Massive Tsunami 10 years Ago; Now Reunited with Her Family

Raudhatul Jannah was only 4 back then, living with her family in Meulaboh, Aceh, Indonesia.

When the giant waves engulfed the area, they also swept away little Raudhatul and her 7-year-old brother, Arif Pratama, from the arms of their father.

However, now, nearly 10 years after that horrific day, Raudhatul has been reunited with her family.

But in June, this year, Raudhatul's uncle saw the girl, and thinking she resembled his lost niece, he inquired and found out she'd been found on Banyak Island following the tsunami.

"My husband and I are very happy we have found her. This is a miracle from God," Raudhatul's mother, Jamaliah, told DPA.

The family now believes Raudhatul's brother is also alive, and is planning to search for him on the same island from which his sister was rescued.
