Women hardest hit by Tsunami
More women than men were killed by the Asian tsunami, Oxfam figures from India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka suggest. In some regions the disaster claimed four times as many women as men. The charity says women were worst-hit because they were waiting on beaches for fishermen to return, or at home looking after children at the time.
