Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Fourth-year medical student Agil Daeng may not be treating tsunami victims in hospitals, but his service is just as important � collecting corpses and body parts to prevent the spread of disease.
�As a medical student, I know I should be helping at hospitals. But many people are already here to help the sick,� said the 23-year-old student of Jakarta�s Trisakti University.
�If we do not collect the corpses fast, wabak-wabak cepat merebak (various diseases will spread),� he said, while pulling out an arm out of a mound of earth.
�Thousands of corpses were piled up everywhere. It was as though a bomb had gone off here. The bloated bodies have begun to rot,� he said.
�One pak cik�s mouth was open and maggots were crawling out, macam piring nasi tumpah dari mulutnya (like a plate of rice spilling from his mouth).�
