The lost generation

Up to half the 60,000 victims of the tsunami are children, says UN.
Tens of thousands more are orphaned, and face threat of disease

On any other day, the children would have been at school or the poorer
ones at work. But on a balmy Sunday morning, the beach in Madras was
alive with children doing what they did every week - playing cricket.
Then the water came.
Everyone here has a story. All can tell how the tsunami swallowed their
children, sweeping them out to sea. Maran saw his niece Velankani
dragged away from him. He said: "I was trying to grab hold of her, but
the sea pulled her out of my arms.We were all trying to grab hold of
the children but no one could do anything."
