Clockwise From Top Left: Sattelites pictures showing the Indian Ocean lapping the SouthWest Coast of Sri Lanka hours before the tsunami struck, the sea being sucked out by the wave which retreats metres from the coastline, tsunami hits coastline, and finally, surging inland devastating everything in its path.
From a beautiful and supposedly calm Christmas, came Boxing day when disaster struck. Not many knew its impact, nor its devastation, and not many understood its reasons, but days after this tragedy, we have all finally come to terms with the catastrophe, be it in the state of shock or disbelief. Pictures, videos and reports alike showed that very little survived the tsunami's velocity and scale of devastation. With figures approaching 100,000 confirmed dead, a million more displaced, this has to be the worst ever natural catastrophe in a decade. Enough said. You judge for yourselves. Not one soul in this entire planet is not affected.
If everyone were to contribute a little, it makes a difference. These are some of the websites in the UK if need be.
1. Disaster Emergency Committee
2. International Committee of Red Cross
3. Oxfam UK
