Memorials were held for the victims of the tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean region, killing more than 200,000 people in one of modern history’s worst natural disasters.

On December 26, 2004, a magnitude-9.1 earthquake off Indonesia’s western tip generated a series of massive waves that pummelled the coastline of 14 countries from Indonesia to Somalia.

In Indonesia’s Aceh province, where more than 100,000 people were killed, a siren rang out at the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque to kick off a series of memorials around the region, including Sri Lanka, India and Thailand, which the tsunami hit hours later.

“I thought it was doomsday,” said Hasnawati, a 54-year-old teacher who goes by one name, at the Indonesian mosque which was damaged by the tsunami.

“On a Sunday morning, when our family were all laughing together, suddenly disaster struck and everything was gone. I can’t describe it with words.”

Some mourners sat and cried at Aceh’s Ulee Lheue mass grave, where about 14,000 are buried, while some villages held their own prayers around the province as they remembered the tragedy that devastated entire communities.

For those not born yet, or too young to remember, the Sumatra earthquake created a tsunami that essentially spread across the Indian Ocean hitting India the hardest and making it all the way to Africa. Before this event, tsunamis were sometimes called “tidal waves”. This event cemented “tsunami” as the word for these waves in modern nomenclature.

🏮 20 years since that terrible day 🌊

December 26, 2004, 7:58 (local time), a terrible roar followed by an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 9.1 strikes off the coast of the northern island of Sumatra, Indonesia.

It will be remembered as the third most powerful earthquake in history.

But that's not all. The epicenter, located on the ocean floor, generates waves that reach 30 meters high. The tsunami causes more victims than the earthquake, sowing destruction even in countries that did not even feel the tremors.

Indonesia is the first to suffer the waves surges and cities like Banda Aceh, are completely reduced to plains of rubble and mud.

Other people pay a high price for their lives, without warnings or alarms, due to the then serious lack of monitoring systems in the Indian Ocean.

In the following hours, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh and even the eastern coasts of Africa, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, Madagascar and South Africa, will suffer the same fate.

🇹🇭 🇲🇲 🇮🇳 🇲🇾 🇱🇰 🇲🇻 🇮🇩 🇧🇩 🇰🇪 🇸🇴 🇹🇿 🇲🇬 🇿🇦

The total number of victims was about 230,000, of which 20,000 were missing and never found. This will be, and is, remembered as one of the most violent disasters in history.

The world woke up to a disaster, but also to so much humanity, especially from other nations, helping, saving, donating and caring for those who had managed to survive.

20 Years On: Remembering the Tsunami That Changed the World

Two decades ago, on December 26, 2004, the world witnessed one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. The Indian Ocean tsunami, triggered by a 9.1-9.3 magnitude undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, claimed over 230,000 lives across 14 countries and left millions more grappling with loss, destruction, and profound change. As we mark the 20th anniversary, we reflect on its enduring impact, lessons learned, and the resilience of humanity in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

A Day That Shook the World

The earthquake struck at 7:58 a.m. local time, releasing energy equivalent to 1,500 Hiroshima atomic bombs. It was the third-largest earthquake ever recorded and lasted up to ten minutes. The resulting tsunami waves, some towering over 30 meters, radiated across the Indian Ocean, devastating coastlines in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, and even parts of Africa thousands of kilometers away.

Entire communities were wiped out in minutes. Banda Aceh in Indonesia, closest to the epicenter, bore the brunt of the disaster, with over 160,000 lives lost. Thailand's picturesque beaches, bustling with holidaymakers, became scenes of chaos and despair. In Sri Lanka, the waves reached as far as two kilometers inland, displacing over half a million people.

Global Response and Solidarity

The magnitude of the disaster elicited an unprecedented global response. Governments, humanitarian organizations, and individuals mobilized to provide immediate aid and long-term support. Over $14 billion was pledged for relief and reconstruction efforts, making it one of the largest international aid efforts in history.

Volunteers from around the world flocked to affected regions, offering their expertise and support. The disaster also underscored the importance of coordinated international responses to natural calamities and led to the establishment of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System in 2006.

Lessons Learned

1. Preparedness and Early Warning Systems: The lack of a robust warning system in 2004 meant that many communities were caught off guard. Today, advancements in seismic monitoring and tsunami alert systems have significantly reduced response times and potential loss of life.

2. Community Resilience: The tragedy highlighted the importance of educating coastal communities about natural warning signs, such as receding shorelines, and implementing evacuation plans.

3. Building Back Better: Reconstruction efforts emphasized sustainable and resilient infrastructure. While challenges remain, many affected regions have emerged stronger, with improved disaster management protocols.

The Human Spirit of Recovery

Amid the devastation, stories of survival and solidarity emerged. Families reunited against all odds, strangers became lifelong friends through shared grief and recovery, and countless individuals transformed personal loss into a mission to help others. Survivors like Petra Nemcová, a Czech supermodel who was severely injured in Thailand, went on to establish foundations to aid disaster-stricken communities.

Looking Ahead

Twenty years later, the memories of the 2004 tsunami remain etched in the collective consciousness. Memorials and commemorative events are held annually to honor those lost, while survivors and their families continue to rebuild their lives. The disaster serves as a stark reminder of nature’s power and the need for continued vigilance in disaster preparedness.

As we look back on this tragic event, we also celebrate the resilience of the human spirit. The 2004 tsunami changed the world, not just in terms of geography and infrastructure, but in fostering a global sense of empathy and interconnectedness that continues to inspire humanitarian efforts today.

Conclusion

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, but it also revealed humanity's capacity for compassion, resilience, and innovation. Twenty years on, the lessons learned from that day continue to shape our approach to disaster management, ensuring that we are better prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

Let us honor the memory of those we lost by committing to a safer, more resilient future for all.

Thank you for reading.

Description: An eye-opening and intimate memoir about life as an international humanitarian aid worker in the field in Rwanda, Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Haiti. Jessica Alexander arrived in Rwanda in the aftermath of the genocide as an idealist intern, excited to be a part of the international humanitarian aid community. But the world that she encountered in the field was dramatically different than anything she could have imagined. In this honest and irreverent memoir, she introduces readers to the reality of the life of an aid worker. We watch as she helps to resettle refugees in Rwanda, manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, and helps a former child soldier in Sierra Leone get rid of a tattoo that was carved into his skin by a rebel group. But we also see the alcoholic parties and fleeting romances, the burnouts and cyncism, the plans and priorities that constantly shift and change. Tracing her personal journey from idealistic and naïve newcomer to hardened cynic to hopeful but critical realist, Alexander transports readers to some of the most troubled locations and shows us not only the impossible challenges, but also the moments of hope and recovery. Review: It was a pretty decent book that gave the reader some insight into the situations in Darfur, Haiti, and Sierra Leone from the perspective of a humanitarian aid worker. You'll understand why the help offered is rarely helpful at all, and good intentions is really a double edged sword. There's some good, a lot of bad, a lot of stress, confusion, and a system rigged to fail for the most part. But there's also the human element, and the people that are affected at every level make this a story worth reading.

An Anniversary Poem

Cerita tentang pasutri yang tepat pada hari ini telah mengarungi bahtera rumah tangga selama 3 tahun.

Seperti panjang dan lama tetapi seperti baru seumur jagung pula.

Bermula dari telfon yang berdering malam itu dari mu :)

The up and down in the beginning.. very tiring yet lot of lessons learned.

1st rajab 1442 H.

I wake up in a very early morning, dressed up, putting on a make up, and finally went to the mosque to meet you and the family.

The mosque that witness our marriage "Masjid Raya Baiturrahman Miniature"

Build inspired by Masjid Raya Baiturrahman in Aceh.

Hit by 80-100 ft tsunami yet standing still with no serious damage.

Masjid yang menjadi saksi betapa Allah dan hanya Allah lah yang menghidupkan dan mematikan setiap makhluk.

Sekeras apapun hantaman ombak tsunami saat itu, tapi Allah berkehendak agar masjid tetap berdiri, Allah berkehendak agar orang-orang yang berlindung di dalamnya selamat, dan Allah juga berkehendak bangunan di sekitar masjid luluh lantak.

Dearest husband, alasanku ingin menikah di miniatur masjid raya baiturrahman adalah karena dekat dari rumah, juga karena bangunannya yang cantik. dan karena sebuah doa agar betapapun beratnya terpaan ujian pernikahan nanti, kita tetap kuat bersama, berdiri kokoh seperti masjid itu.

Entah ujian seperti apa yang menunggu di depan, semoga Allah selalu menguatkan, senantiasa memampukan, membantu dan terus mengawal pernikahan kita, aamiin.

6 bulan perkenalan yang kadang terasa singkat dan kadang terasa lama.

3 tahun pernikahan yang seperti baru kemarin tetapi sudah ada 2 anak yang harus dirawat dan dididik dengan baik.

Terima kasih kepada orang tua yang sudah merestui, kepada keluarga, dan orang-orang yang ikut mendoakan.

Dan terima kasih ya Allah sudah mempertemukan aku dengan suamiku.

Dearest husband, i love you 🤍

رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

Ya Allah, karuniakanlah kami rahmat dari sisi-Mu dan berilah kemudahan-kemudahan serta pimpinan kepada kami untuk keselamatan agama kami.

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ اَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ اَعْيُنٍ وَّاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ اِمَامًا

Ya Allah, anugerahkanlah kepada kami pasangan kami dan keturunan kami sebagai penyenang hati (kami), dan jadikanlah kami pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa.

اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْ أَهْلِيْ وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيَّ وَارْزُقْنِيْ مِنْهُمْ وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِنِّي. اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا مَا جَمَعْتَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ وَفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا إِذَا فَرَّقْتَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ

Ya Allah, berkahilah aku di dalam keluargaku dan berkahilah mereka di dalam diriku. Berilah aku rezeki dari mereka dan berilah mereka rezeki dariku. Ya Allah, kumpulkan kami menuju kebaikan dan pisahkan kami bila Engkau pisahkan menuju kebaikan.

Aamiin.

With all due respect, to the anon who thinks Earthshot is a joke, hypocrite and elitist award, they must be an outsider looking in (which is fair). But let me explain why I disagree with that assessment.

I have a career as sustainable development officer for 15 years, that means I implement sustainable development programs (waste water management, agriculture engineering, environment management, etc) from start to finish. As did my father before me, he has long career as sustainable development officer and has implemented programs in remote parts of our country. He was one of our former President’s advisor when we want to build Aceh (in a sustainable way) from the ground up after the tsunami.

Naturally we follow Earthshot as closely from the beginning, because it’s related to our field of work. We were delighted and very proud when he chose Melati Wijsen, a young woman from our country as one of Earthshot Board. We read and research everytime they announce the finalist, and I have to say, those finalists are the real deal (in environmental world), they will definitely make a tangible impact towards climate change.

And to the criticism that Earthshot is hypocrite and elitist. Or it’s just a vanity project etc, my father and I are field workers, always have been. That’s why we’re pragmatic. In a state of emergency, we never turn down charity for politician or big corporate. When you’re in a ground zero after massive earthquake, you can’t refused help from (let’s say) Jeff Bezos.

What would happen if I say “oh, this food is from Jeff Bezos? He’s always fly private doesn’t he? Pass” and I would argue that with climate change, we’re in a state of emergency, so I’ll take all the help I can get, thanks very much.

The world is not black and white, would it be amazing if politician and big corporations have a heart of gold and maintain their values? Absolutely. But we don’t live in utopia, alas. In the mean time, we all do what we can for climate change, including William.

I appreciate your point of view, but the criticism was never on the finalists and I think we can all agree that the work the finalists are doing is amazing. It's about having celebrities fly around the globe to attend an award that champions environmental causes.
