The Ruins Of Various Houses Are Seen At Senik Village In Demak

The ruins of various houses are seen at Senik village in Demak, Indonesia's central java province November 14, 2009.

Senik village was home to some 206 families since 1999 and it has been flooded by sea water because of rising sea levels, according to Nur Rohmat, one of the villagers.

In 2006, the government relocated most of the residents to another location.
