| Annotation | Following the Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 December 2004, Help the Aged and HelpAge International received £8 million from the British public as part of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal. With local partners, assistance was given to more than 200,000 people in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. This illustrated report describes how such help has enabled older people and their communities to progress from disaster to development by providing them with the three Rs: relief, recovery and rehabilitation.
