Jan Egeland Seen Quotations

We have seen 2004 and 2005 as the years of disaster,

The world's response to the tsunami was the best ever. Governments, the private sector, and individuals around the world opened their hearts and their wallets. Private donations for the tsunami eclipsed anything seen before.

I've never seen such devastation before. We are in the sixth day of operation, and every day the scale of devastation is getting wider.

Then we could have not only a tsunami-style casualty rate as we have seen late last year, but we could see one hundred times that in a worst case.

The world is really coming together here in a way we probably have never seen before.

I fear we are losing the race against the clock in the small villages ... I've never seen such devastation before.
