A man points to a photograph of the women in his family - all of whom are missing following the tsunami which struck South Asia on 26/12/2004. He is living in a camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Lho-Nga. An earthquake of magnitude 9 triggered a series of tidal waves which caused devastation when they struck dry land. In total 12 countries were affected by the tsunami, with a combined death toll of over 280,000.
