SummaryIt has been 20 years since the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and caused widespread destruction across multiple countries. Since then, awareness and preparedness for tsunamis have significantly improved in the region. The Maldives was one of the countries deeply affected by this tragedy.
In the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and several Partner National Societies began providing relief and recovery support in the Maldives.
This photo collection highlights the transformation of a tsunami-affected community on a reconstructed island as well as photos of Kandholhudhoo island, showcasing the strength and resilience of its people. It also documents the impactful activities of the Maldivian Red Crescent.
