The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was a series of tsunamis that swept the shores of most countries along the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, killing almost 280,000 people.

This was the third largest earthquake measured by a seismometer. The ensuing tsunamis reached a height of 30 meters in some places when they made landfall. It has been confirmed that 131,028 people have died in Indonesia. More than 30,000 died in Sri Lanka and thousands died in India and Thailand. In Somalia, 4,500 km from the epicenter, 176 people were killed and about 50,000 people lost their homes. $ 14 billion in emergency aid was collected for the worst-affected countries.
