Description

On 26 December 2004, a severe earthquake near the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered an enormous tsunami in the Indian Ocean that hit many countries, including the Maldives. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service (flow ID #29990), on 31 December 2004, the Chinese government responded with a $250,000 USD donation to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for shelter provision in the Maldives. The funds began flowing on 21 January 2005 and OCHA marked this as fully paid. According a July 2005 UN report, the UNPD aimed to provide full rebuilding for 600 families, partial reconstruction for 2,000, and emergency shelter for 1,000 displaced families in the Maldives.
