The tidal waves that hit the coast of Sri Lanka on 26 December, 2004 killed more than 30,000 people. About half of them are children. 1000 children lost both parents and 3200 lost one parent according to UNICEF reports. More than 300 schools were damaged, destroyed, or turned into shelters for homeless. That leaves about 200,000 children out of school.
