EarthQuake Devastates SouthEast Asia
Shocking news comes from Asia as the world completes its Christmas celebrations. On the morning of the 26th December, the lives of more than 20,000 people across Asia were claimed after one of the most powerful earthquakes hit the region in 40 years.
The 8.9 magnitude earthquake triggered massive tidal waves that slammed into coastlines in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Malaysia and Bangladesh. Thousands of people are still missing and tens of thousands of people have been displaced.
Immediately after the earthquake, religious leaders and aid agencies across the world expressed sympathy to the victims and have shown their willingness to unite together to offer emergency assistance.
