UNICEF: Tsunami Two Year Update
New child-friendly schools serve tsunami-affected children of Calang, Indonesia. UNICEF presents a video series reporting on the aftermath and recovery from the devastating tsunami of 2004. UNICEF is an international organization with offices worldwide, dedicated to the survival, health, rights and education of children in all countries and places.<br><br>
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. <br><br>
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. Tragically, UNICEF estimates that children account for more than one-third of deaths. <br><br>
