Hanuabada families receive relief aid after houses collapse in sea

Reportedly the houses caved in due to the recent strong winds on July 15. The families made it out in time unharmed but were petrified at the devastation and the loss of their properties and homes.

The villages have a long history of living by the sea and have developed a unique architectural design for their homes.

 The houses are built on stilts over the sea and are adjoined by platform pathways in rows from the land towards the sea.
