摘要

On dec. 26, 2004 a tsunami struck the coastal states of the Indian Ocean, killing more than 200,000 Asians and Africans and holidaying Europeans, Americans and Australians. The full horror of the disaster was known only a few days later, when television started showing videoclips taken by those who survived the giant waves that swept up everything in their path and left behind dead people and animals and wrecked train carriages, cars, ships and buildings when the waters receded. The devastation generated a worldwide outpouring of compassion, grief and generosity. Because it's situated not far from Indonesia and Thailand, Singapore was able within two days to send aircraft carrying food, water and medical aid to the people in Aceh and Phuket. At Meula-boh, a town on the west Sumatran coast nearest the epicenter of the earthquake that spawned the tsunami, some 25,000 of the 50,000 inhabitants perished. The survivors were cut off and in desperate straits. But on Jan. 3 a Singaporean helicopter-landing ship was able to establish two critical landing sites on the radically altered shoreline.
