- Summary:
-
On December 26, 2004, a massive earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter Scale occurred under the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Indonesia. Within several hours of the initial event the quake created a series of tsunamis that caused great destruction and loss of life throughout the Indian Ocean basin. The tsunamis devastated 11 Indian Ocean countries with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Thailand and Maldives being most affected. The tsunamis resulted in a disaster of extraordinary proportions with a death toll of more than 225,000 (United Nations and media estimates), although an exact death toll will never be known. The UN estimates that the tsunamis displaced one million people and deprived five million of basic services.
