The Boxing Day tsunami which devastated Asia killed four times as many females as men, new figures reveal. Women were caught waiting on the beaches for fishermen or at home looking after the children. Research carried out by Oxfam shows the pattern was the same in Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka.

Today is 3 months since the tsunami hit 11 countries. Nearly 280,000 people were killed, a majority were female. Those that study the fault line where the quake hit say, it is unstable and they expect another large quake. I hope if another quake comes that they get advanced warning before a tsunami hits.
