How many people were killed in the Boxing Day Tsunami and how much was the total damage bill?

How many people in total died in the Boxing Day Tsunami?


And also how much was the damage bill for the damage caused?


Also, what was the worst affected area?


Answers would be great, thanks!|||I think the conclusion was that it is incalculable - many of the countries affected don't keep adequate records of their population. Estimates are around a quarter of a million people. Affected areas were the countries bordering the Indian Ocean - particularly badly hit was Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand, but the effects were felt as far as Africa. The humanitarian aid bill alone was over 7billion US$. I don't suppose we will ever know the cost to infrastructure and property -particularly in many areas the poorst people were hardest hit.
