Remembering the Great Tsunami of 2004

As the BBC reports, "Ceremonies have been taking place to mark the first anniversary of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami". More than 200,000 people were killed.

The BBC also reports on specific memorials in India and Sweden, as well as on the slow recovery in Somalia, orphans in Thailand, the Indian Ocean warning system, and the political aspects of the tsunami and its aftermath in Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
