Martinus was seven when he lost his mother and brother in the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. He was stranded alone for 21 days and had to survive by “drinking water from puddles” and eating “dried food”. He later returned home, to find his mother and brother had been killed by the wave. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast's Children of the Tsunami on Friday 26 December 2014.
