Somalia - Tsunami operation
January 2005



The tsunami that devastated parts of Asia on December 26 also reached the shores of East Africa, hitting coastal villages in Somalia. Volunteers from the Somali Red Crescent carried out relief work, providing a wide range of services from psychological support, basic health care, distribution of food and non-food items and removing garbage and debris. Here they clear debris from houses and the beach.
