THE TSUNAMI STRIKES

The devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004, was triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean, causing plates to shift and generate colossal waves traveling at speeds of up to 500 mph. The tsunami resulted in over 160,000 fatalities, with widespread destruction across Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Sri Lanka, leaving countless homes and schools in ruins. In the aftermath, the global community rallied to support the victims, contributing resources such as medicine, food, and clean water, with Australia being the most generous donor.
