Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004 (The Boxing Day Tsunami)
On December 26, 2004 and earthquake hit the west coast of Sumatra, Indionesia and caused several devastating tsunamis in 14 countries, killing nearly 230,000 people.
One-third of the dead were children
Four times more women than men were killed
Indonesia
9,000 foreign tourists were reported dead or missing
Sri Lanka
India
Thailand
Maldives
Malaysia
Myanmar
Somalia
Seychellies
and others
One of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history
Death toll could have increased as disease and hunger spread, but many charities all over the world got involved to help stop it from increasing.
Days after the tsunami were spent burrying dead bodies to stop disease spreading.
Was there a way to lower the death toll?
Could distruction in cities be minimized?
Could thousands of lives have been saved?
Perhaps...
