As a result, hundreds of thousands of people, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Malaysia and the Maldives, lost their lives in the tsunami. The huge waves from the earthquake pushed from the Indian Ocean to Kenya, Somalia, Mauritius and Seychelles on the east coast of Africa. As the government of our country takes the lead in active rescue activities, the United States and Europe have launched rescue operations. UN Secretary General
