This web page is dedicated to the family of our friends Denis Caromel, Isabelle Attali and their two boys Ugo and Tom.

They were staying in the Yala Safari Beach Hotel, 1/2 km from the entrance of the Yala National Park (and 28km from Tissamaharamaya) in the south east part of Sri Lanka when the tidal wave reached the area. They were in their room at the hotel.

The family has been separated during the event. Denis is now in a hospital in Nice, France, after staying a week in a hospital in Colombo. Isabelle, Ugo an Tom are missing. The hotel was between the sea (some 200 meters from it) and a lagoon (some 400 meters behind the hotel). Denis beleives that his family may have been taken by the wave in the direction of the lagoon or that they may have been stuck in their bungalow that was number 114. Denis decided to make the papers published by the Est Republicain available on this Web site because it may help the rescue teams in the process of looking for Isabelle, Tom and Ugo. It is strictly forbiden to use it for any other purpose.

Isabelle is nearly 42 (born 01/63) , blond, 1m63, 65kg, clear complexion. She has scars (about 30cm long) on both thighs because she has been operated on at the hips. Her left leg is shorter (approximately 2 centimeters) than the other. She has a dental bridge (up right). Here is dental information that may help to identify her.
