No. Betti. I live in Sri Lanka. Aceh was very much less affected.

I suppose it depends on how the statistics are calculated. Of course Indonesia had the most deaths, but then again Indonesia has a much larger population. So who had the most deaths per million people? Which country had the largest percentage of there land effected? So it is possible that senaratne has calculated the severity of the Tsunami by the amount of news coverage in his own country, showing more stories of the tragedy of his own country compared with other countries.
