Let us rebuild

The Sri Lanka Institute of Packaging plays its role in Tsunami Relief Operations by launching an ambitious housing project for displaced persons.

The Tsunami Disaster of December 26, 2004 was by far the greatest natural disaster that struck the Asian region in terms of both loss of life and property. The furious waves originating from an underwater earthquake off the seas of Indonesia unleashed a wave of destruction across a good part of the South and South East Asian region. Sri Lanka was among the countries that suffered most as a result of the disaster.

Many thousands of Sri Lankans, especially those living near the coastal areas lost their lives while hundreds of thousands were displaced and dispossessed as a result of the disaster. Many have yet to be accounted for and the total cost of the destruction unleashed by the furious waves has yet to be estimated.
