Unless someone starts a site like "f@p-ing for world peace" I'm sure our efforts are best spent donating to the Red Cross/Red Crescent.

1/3 of the deaths were children too (they couldn't run as fast, and aren't as tall as adults).

They also attributed it to before the tsunami struck, the water receeded, leaving fish on the shore. Children went to go collect the fish, and were the first to be struck by the waves.
