Ten members of their community were taken from them when the main shop in the village – the deli, the post office and a hairdressers – was ripped apart.

The Coffee Pod cafe across from the scene filled shelves with sandwiches, soup, chocolate bars and tea and coffee, ceaselessly handing them out to anyone who needed them.
