UNICEF: Two Year Update Overview
UNICEF is an international organization with offices worldwide, dedicated to the survival, health, rights and education of children in all countries and places. This report summarizes the continuing efforts to help in the recovery from the devastating 2004 tsunami.
<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.
