The world has experienced an unprecedented catastrophe of a magnitude like no other in modern history this Christmas season as death came from the sea.

A magnitude 9.0 earthquake originating in the Indian Ocean generated a tsunami that struck all nations bordering it and has left hundreds of thousands of people affected by it, homeless and without hope.Initial estimates put the dead at close to 30,000 in the countries of India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and more.

These numbers do not nearly reflect the depth of the disaster as thousands of families have been destroyed.There is great need for immediate disaster relief to help provide basic needs such as food, water and shelter. Complete villages and towns have been wiped out and basic services including food, water and shelter are unavailable.

Whole populations are struggling with destroyed communications, power outages and swamped and debris-strewn roads. Emergency workers were shocked by the sheer scale of the catastrophe.Catholic Online is working with International Relief Services to help provide Hope and Assistance.
