Concerns Australian aid cuts will impact Asia Pacific's ability to prepare for future disasters
It's been 10 years since countries right across the Indian Ocean were devastated by a tsunami, which had been triggered by a massive undersea earthquake.
In the time since then, the Pacific region has also had its fair share of tsunamis - including one which killed more than 100 people across Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga in 2009.
But nothing can quite compare scale of the Boxing Day Tsunami, which is believed to have killed around 230,000 people in 14 countries.
Indonesia was the hardest hit by the disaster.
In the years since, Australian and international charities have poured money into rebuilding the devastated areas but they're now warning that cuts to Australia's foreign aid budget will hamper the work that still needs to be done.
