December 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, or Boxing Day tsunami, which occurred on 26 December 2004, triggered by a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in the Indian Ocean off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The tsunami, one of the deadliest natural disasters in recent history, devastated areas along the coastal regions of the Indian Ocean claiming more than 220,000 lives, displacing more than half a million survivors, and leaving hundreds of thousands without a livelihood.
