050314-N-8796S-019 Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Mar. 14 2005) - An Indonesian girl holds her little brother and a donated stuffed animal after returning to Abizad Hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, from the Military Sealift Command (MSC) hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) for follow up treatment. She is one of the last patients to return to home soil following an operation on the ship to amputate her left leg. Mercy is serving as an enabling platform to assist humanitarian operations ashore in ways that host nations and international relief organization find useful. Mercy is currently off the waters of Indonesia in support of Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian relief effort to aid the victims of the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia.
