Clark shocked by tsunami devastation in Sri Lanka

New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said she was shocked at the devastation the tsunami had caused in Sri Lanka.

Clark in a letter to President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga states:

"It is with great sadness that I have learned of the loss of life that your people along Sri Lanka's southern coasts have suffered as a result of the earthquake and tsunami that originated off Sumatra.

I am shocked at the extent of the devastation the disaster has caused. I wish to convey the sympathy of my government and the people of New Zealand as you face this crisis.

Please be assured that the New Zealand Government will provide support for disaster relief as soon as practicable through international agencies that are assisting.

All New Zealanders are looking to provide assistance that will allow those affected to rebuild their lives and livelihoods."
