TSUNAMI RELIEF PROJECT – PHASE 1

THE TRAGIC TSUNAMI INCIDENT OF DECEMBER 2004

Masjidul Jamiah, Mosque in Colombo, Malay Mosque, Heritage, History of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka was one of the countries struck by the tsunami resulting from the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004. On January 3, 2005, Sri Lankan authorities reported 30,000+ confirmed deaths. Many of the dead were adults and the elderly. The south and east coasts were worst hit. One and a half million people were displaced from their homes. The death toll continued to rise as the threat of infectious diseases breaking out turned into a reality, with doctors confirming first cases of cholera. The earthquake was the third largest ever recorded and had the longest duration of faulting ever observed; between eight and ten minutes.
