2004年12月26日上午,印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛附近海域发生强烈地震,并引发海啸,东南亚和南亚一些国家受灾严重。截至12月31日已造成12．5万人死亡,而海啸遇难者最终将超过50万人,仅印尼亚齐省估计就将高达40万人。目前已知印尼亚齐省死亡人数为8万人,苏门答腊岛西岸边上一些小岛甚至完全被淹没,或已经消失了,在很多重灾区,搜救人员尚未到达。印尼政府通过空中监测,米拉务、Simeulue岛和TapakTuan等地已经不存在生命迹象。由于发生此次地震的海域与中国之间有陆地相隔,因此海啸没有波及到中国。另外,由于中国大陆以东有一系列岛屿组成的天然地理屏障,可阻挡海啸,因此太平洋地区的海啸对中国大陆沿岸的影响也相对较小。
On the morning of December 26, 2004, a strong earthquake hit the sea off Sumatra Island in Indonesia and caused a tsunami. Some countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia were seriously affected. As of December 31, 125,000 people have been killed, while the tsunami victims will eventually exceed 500,000. Only Aceh in Indonesia is estimated to have up to 400,000. At present, 80,000 people are known to have died in Aceh, Indonesia. Some islands along the western bank of Sumatra have even been completely submerged or have disappeared. In many of the hardest hit areas, search and rescue workers have not yet arrived. The Indonesian government has no signs of life through air monitoring, rice service, Simeulue Island and TapakTuan. Since there was land separation between China and the sea area where the earthquake occurred, the tsunami did not reach China. In addition, due to the natural geographical barrier formed by a series of islands to the east of mainland China, which can stop the tsunami, the impact of the tsunami in the Pacific on the coast of mainland China is relatively small.
