Sunday morning, 26 December 2004

     Following the 9.0 quake which hit northern 
Sumatra, powerful tsunamis with waves up to ten 
metres high slammed into the coasts of India, 
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Maldives, 
Malaysia, Myanmar, the Seychelles, and Somalia, 
devastating thousands of kilometres of 
coastline – and the communities that depended on 
them.   

     The tsunami wiped away homes, schools, and 
health facilities; it demolished roads, bridges 
and power lines; it irrevocably altered the 
lives of millions of people. Officials estimate 
that more than 280,000 perished. Another 27,000 
are missing, and some 1,237,000 are displaced. 
Millions more have seen their families and 
communities torn apart. Tragically, UNICEF 
estimates that children account for more than 
one-third of deaths.
