The impact of the tsunami will continue to be felt for many years. More than 230,000 people died or are missing and more than 1.8 million people were displaced. Many hundreds of thousands lost their livelihoods. The disaster prompted an unprecedented level of solidarity and generosity from around the globe. In total, Oxfam will have received US$278 million from members of the public, corporations, and institutional partners. They placed their trust in us – as an organisation with strong grassroots links with partner organisations – to meet the immediate and long-term development needs of communities affected by the tsunami. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our supporters for making the speed and scale of our response possible.
