he year that began on December 26, 2004, has been like no other. Disasters around the world — beginning with the Indian T Ocean tsunami — showed us the power of nature and the fragility of human life. But in the wake of each crisis, we witnessed something even more powerful: the willingness of people around the world to come together to help those in need. The tsunami was followed by a food crisis in Niger, hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Stan, ongoing ethnic conflict in Sudan and an earthquake in Pakistan. When the year finally ended, millions remained in need of assistance. Mercy Corps responded to each new crisis, working first to save lives and then to rebuild communities. And at each new turn, our donors provided record-breaking levels of assistance, defying media speculations of donor fatigue. Today, so much remains to be done, and the most powerful ideas for recovery are coming from the survivors themselves. Our role now is to listen, empower, help remove obstacles, and stand with them as partners.

The massive earthquake that hit northern

Pakistan and India on October 8, 2005 instantly reduced villages to rubble, claimed at least 73,000 lives and displaced more than

3.3 million people. Mercy Corps responded immediately to families' needs in remote mountainous areas, addressing health, food, water, and shelter concerns. Today, we remain in earthquake-affected areas, supporting determined survivors as they rebuild their communities and reclaim their lives.

7 Y EAR OF D ISASTERS : K ATRINA

In late August 2005, Hurricane Katrina wrought havoc across an area of coastal North America the size of Great Britain, destroying tens of thousands of homes and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate. Within days, a veteran team of Mercy Corps emergency workers was dispatched to assist displaced families across the Gulf Coast. Today, we're lending a hand as communities lay the foundations for a stronger future while helping children cope with the emotional wake of the hurricane's aftermath.

The Indian Ocean tsunami ravaged an entire region in December 2004, taking more than

270,000 lives and leaving millions homeless.

Mercy Corps' largest, most comprehensive emergency response ever has assisted more than one million people in devastated areas of

India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Today, schools have reopened, homes have been rebuilt, economies have rebounded, and rice is growing in fields once covered by sea water.
