Miraculously, Fatema's husband Rafiqul Islam, their two daughters Jannat, 14, and Salma, 11, and Rafiqul's brother Gias Uddin survived. Locals call the location Beltala, the hill where Fatema, Shafiqul and several other families built homes. When the part of the hill slid on Fatema's house, Rafiqul and their younger daughter Salma managed to get out of the rubble first. It was Fatema who took loans to build the house on the government land two years ago. Fatema then took another loan to buy tins to make room for Rabeya and her daughters.
