"Thieves, rapists, kidnappers and hoaxers are preying on tsunami survivors and families of victims in Asian refugee camps and hospitals and in the home countries of European tourists hit by the wave. In stark contrast to a worldwide outpouring of humanitarian aid in response to the Dec. 26 tsunami, whose death toll stood at nearly 145,000 people by Monday, a women's group in Sri Lanka said rapists were preying on homeless survivors. "We have received reports of incidents of rape, gang rape, molestation and physical abuse of women and girls in the course of unsupervised rescue operations and while resident in temporary shelters," the Women and Media Collective group said Save the Children warned that youngsters orphaned by the tsunami were vulnerable to sexual exploitation.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Namaskar Normaji, I, too, am disturbed but not surprised that opportunists would blossom in the midst of tragedy. I pray not only for the victims but for all people because such potential lies within humanity.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Dear All, This incident took place, yes...this is just a beginning of the world...coming to an end. I'm a college student, and one of my teachers took a brief class on this incident in a geological view. An earthquake occurs, the ocean draws completely back and mounts the water on one place...and then people have about 30 seconds to start running to wherever they think they could be safe. Suddenly the whole ocean will let go of itself from the top... A really interesting topic...America is very much involved with the world's happenings...upto 5 hurricans hit the US too...I guess everything ahs its own time...
