The Asian Tsunami
Aid and Reconstruction after a Disaster
Sisira Jayasuriya and Peter McCawley
The 2004 Asian tsunami was the greatest natural disaster in recent times. Almost 230 000 people died. In response, governments in Asia and the broader international community announced large aid programs. The resulting assistance effort was one of the largest humanitarian programs ever organized in the developing world.
