Pray for survivors

An excerpt from this article:

"""One survivor, Chan Chhay Loeurt, 25, a student, said he had no idea what happened.

"Just people squeezed together," he said. "I can't move. I can't breathe. I can't breathe in and out. I fell unconscious. When I woke up, I was in a police car next to a dead body.""""

I guess in Australia these people would have some kind of trauma counselling, but there is not the culture and resources for that here. I've read many are still walking around with undiagnosed mental illnesses from Khmer Rouge time, more than 30 years ago.
