Tsunami photo gallery

Around 230,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands injured or made homeless when a massive tsunami struck off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia on 26 December 2004.

 

The British Red Cross set up a project involving photographer Ruth Robinson working with around 90 tsunami survivors in Indonesia, the Maldives and Sri Lanka, taking photographs and explaining them in their own words. Everyone who took part in the project received a new house or cash grant from the British Red Cross.

The following photographs were displayed in the Tsunami: face to face photographic exhibition which opened at the.gallery@oxo from 6 December 2007 to 6 January 2008.
