‘The cruel waves’: Myanmar migrants remember the tsunami

December 26 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Indian ocean tsunami. Over 220,000 people were killed across 14 countries. In southern Thailand, Myanmar migrants were called “the forgotten victims” of that tragedy, but there are some still there who remember that day and miss those who were lost.

Doh Athan is a weekly podcast about human rights issues in Myanmar. It is made by local journalists with media partners from across the country, through a partnership with Fondation Hirondelle and the support of our donors.
